Forget ethics; just from a business standpoint, each new piece of legislation like this makes piracy an increasingly better alternative, costing Hollywood more and more money. Pirates don't have to deal with ridiculous restrictions like not being able to legally watch the movie you paid for.

And hilariously, it's not even a matter of price. Dotcom's 15 Ferraris are evidence people are quite willing to pay for the superior piracy experience. This is money that Hollywood could have had if only they gave their customers what they wanted.

Instead, Hollywood's plan seems to be

1) increased litigation and screwing over of existing customers

2) ???

3) profit!
