If artistic expression of an individual, for example, were properly protected by law, this is a definition owned by population. But such e...

They're doing this all wrong. Trying to stop "Cybercrime" by taking away the privacy and tools to help secure the innocent and corporations from the malicious natured "cracker" is the wrong way to handle it.
