A government trying to shut down illegal activities =/= the end of democracy.
It seems like with EVERY anti-piracy thing people think the government is trying to ruin society and result to a dictatorship or something like that. Honestly, as a pirate, you need to realize what you're doing is illegal and that there are gonna be measures taken over time to try and stop that. It's like complaining that a cop stopped you from stealing an old lady's purse (and don't pull out the "piracy isn't stealing" thing, I'm simply using a metaphor to equate one crime to another). As a pirate I realize what I do is illegal and not exactly ethical but I do it because I like free stuff and don't really care about the moral implications. They have all rights to try and stop me from pirating provided it doesn't resort to the violation of basic liberties.
