Congress already has an "anti-piracy" caucus, but why another one? According to Techdirt, this one pull copyright maximalism out of the bag. It's called the "Creative Rights" caucus and this barely protects Creative Rights. Coble and Chu's Creative Rights view is to protect corporate intellectual property, and take away the rights of creativity.
A little innocent child drawing Sponge Bob would put an entire family in prison and how are they going to do that? While they take away the freedom of creativity on the internet, why stop there? They can write Copyright maximalist laws beyond the internet including putting wireless cameras in residential homes, use surveillance drones to monitor on people's activity to see if they are infringing copyright, such as singing a copyrighted song in public, or playing copyrighted music on the radio out loud. They could require everyone to have DRM chips in their brain, turning them into corporate mind slaves forcing them against their will to be uncreative, unproductive, and buy their products.
The Creative Rights caucus give the FBI the green light to shut down Deviantart.
We will be watching this throughout the days, weeks, and months
