Of course it's not about fighting piracy or copyright, it's about Internet censorship.

For the most part, everyone is OK today, tomorrow, probably even next week, but what are they going to do when they take away our voice and there's nowhere left to complain? It is very clear that our [the US] government does not want freedom of information flowing to its citizens.

They already control Main Stream Media which dictates what the majority of the [older] citizens view as "trustworthy" news. Between the protests and war on piracy, the United States is rapidly becoming a hybrid of a corpocracy and a police state.
