It's not terribly surprising that courts with their (poor understanding of technology, unchecked belief in their own authority, and pay to play dynamic) will find that any party who can act to prevent a crime should do so. I think the only winning path is to make our protocols independent of centralized identities, such that the content cartels can technically take any participant to court and censor them, but that doing so to every participant is cost/time ineffective. Of course these protocols have to be adopted for general use as well, so that merely being a participant can't be seen as criminal activity.
