The problem I have with is the pseudo impersonation of police like agencies and then intimidating the vendors into signing a consent form for the confiscation of property.

I am not saying that the bootleggers are right. I am saying that this is OTT and wrong. It they discover a bootlegger, they have every right to file a police complaint.

I would like to find a tech solution that helps protect IP rights but also supports fair use for customers. That way legitimate owners can do what they want (for the most part) with things they own and content creators still have say over disrtobution.
