Why do we call laws like these "anti-XXX"? The laws do not prevent piracy; it's already arguably illegal. All these laws do is excessively punish the offenders. We should call these laws "severe arbitrary punishment laws" instead, as that's what they actually are.
I'm fine with making sharing movies illegal, but the punishment should be something like a $50 fine, similar to riding public transportation without a valid ticket. The damage to society is similar (i.e., near zero), so the reparations to society should be similarly minimal.
Let's be honest. The world will not descend into chaos if people share movies and jaywalk. Let's not write laws that imagine otherwise.
