Under the DMCA, online services can already be required to identify potential copyright infringers. However, the MPA notes that operators of pirate sites and services often use false information.
“In our experience, malicious cyber actors – including operators of piracy sites and services – almost always misrepresent their identity to IaaS providers. The regulations should therefore ensure that the verification of their identities generates a high degree of confidence that the recorded identities are genuine,” MPA writes.
So giving an online service more of my personal information to increase their confidence will deter Pirates from using their services. Aside from a DNA swab what identification information can you request that cannot be purchased in some fashion?
Seems like punishing the many to protect the wealthy few.

Just got to use cryptos like monero that allow for annonimous payments
