 An Amateur Take on Induce 
My amateur take on the Induce Act, S. 2560, is that it is not outrageous, but it is a dangerous principle to be playing with. Thus, legislators will want to be careful with it and make sure it is securely circumscribed in where it can range.

Burglary tools can be outlawed, but you don't want that to lead to outlawing hammers, for instance. Intellectual property is crucial to protect and perhaps this is a least cost way of doing it. Nevertheless, Induce is a means about which we should be justifiably wary.
