No, we just love seeing the massively hypocritical and law-buying/bending content-stealing-and-controlling-not-creating industry getting its just desserts.
Hey, at least Game of Thrones *shows* you what to do with people in power you don't like - and it involves beheading, crossbows in the gut, or worse... :)
There is also the over-broadness of the age limit - knowing what your 8- or 12-year-old is doing is quite different than spying on your 17-year-old.

Or, you can cut everyone's money so much that they can't spend anything and your economy tanks.
And remember, by Republican standards, your soldiers are 'welfare bums' cadging 'free healthcare and benefits' from the 'government teat'. i.e. part of the 47%...
