Given a handle, folks are going to want to grab it when they feel a need to control, regardless of who the folks are. It'd be nice to remove the handle, but that appears to be a very hard problem...
I think that the Pirate Bay announcement was triggered by http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=131678432 plus the COICA bill (http://www.eff.org/coica) -- though it, at least, appears to be dead for this session and who knows what the new Congress will do. That said, I think the problem is primarily political, not technical. --Steve Bellovin, http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb
