I think what you're seeing right now is really just the beginning. As things around copyright (on which many a fortune was built) will get more out of control the spasms of this group will get stronger and stronger until there will be a popular movement to counter it.

This is just a reaction to the 'pirate' political party.

I wonder how long it will be before there will be an American equivalent to the Pirate party.

That will create a real disturbance in the force.
