One of these will get passed eventually, that's what I believe.
And it has nothing to do with Governments getting sloppy at all, it has to do with the fact that they work in self interest, just like everything else. I don't think I need to even mention how big lobbying is in the states or how much money goes into it.
Further more, you know they say: Everyone has a price.
Unfortunately yeah, I believe one of them will eventually be passed. Doesn't matter if it's infringing on rights, it makes them money, they want it passed. I'm honestly surprised ACTA wasn't passed.
I don't pirate often and I won't cry if it ever disappears, but the only bad thing is that you can't get rid of piracy without getting rid of a shit ton of our rights. I'm sure if they could, they'd do it without infringing on my rights, but of course they can't so they won't. So they'll break into the right of privacy, free speech, all that, just to stop piracy.
