"When it is clear, it is not the technology that is doing the crime, a gun does not shoot someone, a person with a gun does."
This is exactly the point of what everyone is saying. Go after the person (infringing user), not the "gun" (site or other tool with which they execute the infringement). It's the broad, nonspecific format of these pieces of legislation that are the issue, not their intent. No one is denying that piracy is illegal, they are saying that this legislation does not address its intended target, but causes large collateral damage that is in the interest of no one, which ironically includes the very supporters of the bills.
