The last person who said "karma is going to be such a sweet bitch" to me was a waitress I'd refused to tip due to shitty service.
A day later she was fired due to apparently every other customer also complaining.
You see, your comment is based on your opinion, which is subjective. That's why its wrong, and that's why you SOPA supporters are going to see that general public are undergoing their own 'Arab Spring' and will tolerate less and less of this shit in future.
I bought the Back to the Future Blu Ray Trilogy (after having owned the DVD and most likely the VHS), yet I get forcefed anti piracy messages and have to skip a ton of crap. I'm used to it, it's life.
Where they continue to piss me off is the little things designed to annoy, like having to select language, and English (or UK if by country) is last on 4 pages of options.
Then there's pause. If I pause on my PS3 I get a 'universal' logo pop up. Ok, no biggie, but if I leave it for 10 minutes (approx) it goes back to the main menu and I have no way of resuming where I was without manually searching through the chapters. If I pause an AVI, it stays on pause FOREVER. I did email Universal to (politely) suggest this feature sucked and I never had any form of reply. Why bother when the consumer has no alternative.
Government protection of your monopoly = no reason to be nice to your customers.
"PIRACY CAN'T BE LEFT TO INCREASE! That will most certainly bring down the ... content industry"
Only if all piracy acts are carried out INSTEAD of purchasing through legal means. Which it's not. It's impossible to know how many pirated acts, if stopped, would have resulted in a legal purchase.
I must have signed a dozen petitions on the UK's Number 10 Downing Street petition site. All responded to with a bland non commital statement.
The 'your say' web site which allowed public to vote to repeal unpopular laws? Let down by poor coding and lack of government action.
The one good thing about the latest government seems to be the amount of policy u-turns they make when the public cries out.... though that could just be because the public have a greater voice now thanks to twitter etc

A logical solution
There would be no infringement without content upon which to infringe.
The existence of content is the biggest facilitator of infringement in existence.
And who are the so-called representatives of the content industry? The MAFIAA.
They are directly to blame for infringement, with their top quality content
