Another prime example of those in legislative authority being much dimmer than they really ought to be for their position.

Copyright infringement is NOT a criminal act but a civil one. You are sued not prosecuted for doing it. Now piracy (that is the legal definition in which someone mass produces and sells on copyrighted material for personal financial gain) is a criminal act and they argue this move is to stop that, but it seems they are saying they are doing it merely to protect IP which really isn't their jurisdiction.

That's not quite right. You can commit a criminal offence if you make unauthorised reproductions to such an extent that you prejudice the copyright owner, irrespective of your intention to make a financial gain.

I imagine you'll have to explain the word 'prejudice' in a legal context to those posters not familiar with words.
