But it won't actually help legacy industry anyway. It just gives them that sense of control they want. They waste so much money and time on this, and make life horrible for everyone.
Trump is the current guy taking the current action, as reported. Why would Obama be the headline now, as in countless past articles, when he isn't the one returning a report someone wants to destroy? The bad guy here, as pointed out, is rather Burr. But Trump is pretty authoritarian so sure he will go along on this one.
Feinstein... is one member of a committee. And it takes time for a committee to pry anything out of various agencies like the CIA. There are articles here and all sorts of places about this report specifically, and all manner of other things in general. Some agency doesn't want to respond, they have all sorts of tactics, and there is no real way to compel them.
Political leverage... against torturers? Sure, why not?

People who use the phrase "ad hominem attack" are parroting something which neither they, nor the ones they parrot, understand. This usage is fractally wrong. If you want to complain about a perceived insult, just say "insult", rather than attempt to imply a failed argument or convey an illusory weight to your response with magical-sounding words which only fool those of the same persuasion and equally lacking in critical thinking skills.
Re: ISPs directly get more customers from availability of "free" content, and they don't care about the distant creators.
It's not a lawful redress to make threats practically at random, demanding money, or the threat of legal action which almost never materializes because they know they are full of shit and have no case.
People actually seeking redress over infringed works in a reasonable manner aren't trolls. Those people exist, and no one here complains about them.
If you are worried about creators, nearly all the problem they have with compensation revolves around the sectors they allow to represent them, supposedly collect royalties for them, and have control (or not, even, in some cases) the rights the creators have assigned away.
If you are whining for major corporate productions, even piracy at the scale you seem to imagine exists doesn't even touch them. It's more free advertising than anything.
If 30 or 40 people shared a connection (uh, you realize large buildings actually do this), they would have to buy enough bandwidth for all those people, or they would just have really poor service. But good point, ISPs, especially in North America, also charge way beyond the cost of service, just like some want rather insane amounts of money for the cost of "reproduction". Both are at an asymptotic limit approaching zero.
The more extreme sorts of the Christian persuasion do seem to feel there is some kind of zealotry gap with respect to the extreme sorts of the Muslim persuasion, so they develop a sort of fatwah envy.
But yeah the sharia that they keep claiming will be or has been imposed, somehow, and which they hate so much, is mostly the same ruleset they want, but with them deciding who is the sinner or heretic.
This is what authoritarians do, and their best enemies to uphold as an example of why they need even more power and you need less rights are generally their counterparts who drink grape rather than cherry, or some relatively powerless minority which enough people can get on board with not caring about or hating. Best of both worlds is someone you can lump together with the enemy, but who is a minority locally.
However, i think sharia-panic was simply mentioned as an example. The people who want religious law have always been here. Dominionists are fun. So are the ones who claim that the Establishment Clause doesn't imply separation of state from religiously motivated things.
