I agree. The law should be rewritten to clarify that hash lists are not themselves illegal.

I have also found it strange that certain orgs are allowed to use what is essentially public property, e.g. confiscated CP, through cooperation with the government to monetize proprietary products. Hash lists should be competely unprotected by copyright or any other intellectual property law. Otherwise, the government is just creating monopolies, and ones that only prevent CP for those services rich enough to afford it.
