Read the article and read a lot of the comments .... I really like the 'Coat Hanger' analogy:
Maybe companies that make coat hangers should hire private detectives to make sure people don't use them to break into cars.

No, shops like ikea who distribute coat handers need to pay for detectives to make sure people don't use them to break into cars!

No, they need the government to legislate that the coat hangers can only ever be used to hang coats, and its up to the Banks, which let us spend our money to buy coat hangers, to police it

Wrong again, the government need to create a legislation that coat hangers can only be used for coats, and then install data trackers in coat hanger and have coat hanger companies keep hold of our metadata for 2 years to ensure that they weren't used to break into cars. Then it is upto us to pirate coat hangers to steal cars.

you forgot to mention that they would also need to fine anyone that bends a piece of wire into a coat hanger shape

Oh of course! Sorry and hand out minor infrigements to anyone who hangs anything but a coat on a coat hanger. T-Shirt? Australia says no!

But all of that is a lot of work; it is easier for them to go after the producers of the metal and plastic used to make coat hangers, for providing the coat hanger companies with coat hanger materials.

But what if you want to borrow someone elses coat hanger, or buy a box of used ones for your old coats? These unauthorised uses of coathangers must also be stopped.

Not only can you use that coat hanger to break into someones car, but you can then recycle it and use it as an aerial. You can't do that with a downloaded movie, can you?
