although what you say may be true to some extent, email devastating postal workers, file sharing devastating artists, what you propose is completely unrealistic.

No one’s going to boycott the net, especially postal workers, organising a strike like that, on that scale, is just not going to happen. Unfortuantely the internet has integrated and necessitated itself in our lives so much now that not using it isn’t an option for many people.

Emails should be paid by the senders and the money should go to the postal system who will the share the money with the postal workers the need to feed their families even as they have no work to do because physical letters are no longer sent.

Postal workers should form an anti-net coalition with RIAA to advance this proposal and the other proposal for a net tax to pay for music.

It’$ all about the M-O-N-E-Y, folks… Unfortunately, I think, things are going to get MUCH, MUCH wor$e.
By the time vast majority of people finally get the ‘clue’ it’s going to be way, way too late.

How many more movies beyond Soylent Green, 1984, & The Matrix can YOU, personally, think of that has described in some form or another what is happening and going to in the future?
