Piracy is lost sales. Not stealing.
Again with this "fascism". Unless this bill supports the creation of a totalitarian single-party state that seeks the mass mobilization of a nation through discipline, indoctrination, physical education, and family policy, led by a supreme leader who exercises a dictatorship over the fascist movement, the government and other state institutions, it isn't fascism.
Comparisons are being drawn to fascism, because the bill gives the right to censor and shut down websites for nebulous reasons that are not really explained - "hosting illegal content". Comparisons are also being drawn to fascism because there is no due process for this. It basically gives the government the right to shut down a website on a whim.
Saying that piracy will destroy culture is like saying bootleg videotapes will culture. Oh wait they haven't. Piracy and bootlegging has been going on for decades and the entertainment industry has not been completely torn apart and culture has not fallen into disarray. Well, maybe you don't like the guys who are popular in music or acting right now, but I'm pretty sure people aren't cannibalizing each other in the streets and burning down buildings because piracy has cost the entertainment industry sales.
