I’m trying to remain optimistic, but, at least here in the US, I don’t see said bullshit slowing down. I think we are rapidly entering the “and then they fight you” phase. Many of us will have to make some difficult decisions over the coming years.

I still torrent shit and thats illegal.

It's only illegal for copyrighted material without written permission. E.g. Linux distros like Fedora distribute installers via torrent perfectly legally - because it is covered by FOSS licensing (written permission). Any song or video with a Creative Commons (or similar) license is perfectly legal.
You can make a very strong ethical case for distributing leaked documents exposing govt corruption (Julian Assange), but it is still technically illegal.
