I'm not very surprised by this. If someone is accused and sentenced for a crime they honest and truly don't believe they committed, people get very jaded against the government.

This is why a large group of people pointed out that if you declare 2/3 of the population as criminals, the effect is very bad for society. It doesn't really matter if you are pro- file-sharing, or anti-piracy. If we loose the mutual respect between citizens and law creating government, everyone will loose.
