Cops aren't allowed to steal a civilian's car for stakeouts if they think they're drug running.
To do this would be a violation of laws protecting the property right of the car's owner since he is innocent till proven guilty. The irony here isn't that Sharman is hypocritical, but that the MafRIAA want their cake and eat it too legally. They have no problem doiing anything legal or not to get their business done. Sharman cannot stop it's users from sharing copyrighted material. Napster users remember how that went over...the users just found new ways to use the P2P medium to get the files out anyway, whether it was pig latin renamers or patches that allowed zip files or the Wrapster program that cloaked warez with an mp3 header.

Sharman have a EULA that all who use the prog are supposed to follow, especially reputable public business orgs like the MafRIAA. They need to learn they aren't above the law either, and they need to do shit right if they want to be able to claim righteousness in their fights. I think the true hypocrisy is clear.
