Justice Dept. wants new antipiracy powers

The DoJ thinks that just because a tool can do something that you will be induced to do that thing. They're referring to things like Kazaa or Bit Torrent. These applications are used to share files. The DoJ is insisting that these programs are inducing people to share copyrighted material.

Here's an analogy: hammers are a common tool used for hammering things. Sometimes people use them to hammer people or property (windows, cars, etc.) So, by the DoJ's logic, hammers are inducing people to commit these crimes simply by being hammers.

Make sense? Yeah, me neither.
