Yeah well what do you want? If the laws exist to protect the powerful and oppress the weak, what other kind of retaliation would even be remotely considered?
We are on the brink of a new era, where a whole generation of youngters are pretty damned well informed about this crap, and if they attempt to enforce it in a meaningful way, the rather terroristic and obnoxious types like "Anonymous" and "Lulzsec", etc., are just the beggining. Imagine a whole team of thousands of hackers determined to bring these lawyers or companies, etc., to the ground. We are, by having these utterly unjust laws, actually bringing on ourselves this kind of bleak, cyberpunk future.
Not pretty.
