We don't have to look very far to see where this is going, just look at what happens in Syria and Iraq right now. This is what happens when there is no government. I don't believe we western countries are any different.
This hunting file-sharers is meaningless, they will just switch over to encryption and other distributed forms of transfer like i2p2.de for example. Encrypted anonymizer written in Java so it runs on all platforms.
The side-effect is that real criminals will also benefit from this development and use the same means to communicate. Great, the pirate hunt will make it impossible to catch real terrorists. Is this really worth it?
And GLBasic has been used to put plenty of games and applications on both the iPhone and Android market. You do the whole development on your PC including testing, then you compile it for iPhone, Android, Linux, Windows, Mac without having to completely rewrite the code...
