I've got to believe that European people as a whole don't understand the implications of this. It's a really horrible thing - they should be protesting in the street about it.

We've been fighting these recurrent ideas time and again, mostly winning on technical grounds. This is pretty weak. Freedom is not a good argument against a torpedo that is "think of the children".

We start by educating how expensive, impractical, unenforceable and ineffective such things are.

The people “as a whole” don't understand indeed, and this is rather problematic.

Protesting in the street can get quite difficult when the media turn public opinion against you, while the state is sending troops equipped with “non-lethal” weapons.

Who protested in the street when ISPs started sending letters to people who pirated content?
