From what I remember that was never the issue people was fighting for.
It was more about the right to own what you payed for and bought, and the right to create a copy of it for yourself.
Which still are a big issue.

That's a generous recollection. The right to create private backups was generally a very small part of people's arguments. Most discussions tended to be about justify torrenting media that they never owned, nor had any real intention of paying for

#10In other words: It would punish the ones who steal. Which is normally considered a good thing in society, unless you're a Big (Tech) Company who's entire business model rests on the extraction of value (i.e. free labor) from less powerful entities.
