Let all "entertainment industries" wake up and smell the coffee, they offer limited, sometimes questionable benefit to our culture; there's little public support for compensation not reflective of their true value.

Let it happen? LET IT?!?! A pretty big portion of our fellow comrades in good ol’ US of A voted George Bush in for a second term. “Let it” indeed. We’re asking for it.

They question the ethics but the law binds their hands. This sorry episode in american history is showing in clear relief a massive and unintended hole in the constitution. A vast majority of the founding fathers remembered copyright law for what it was at the time, and still is now, a means by which the rich, royal, or politically motivated can stifle dissent or educated choice. They saw it as a threat to every freedom in the bill of rights, but, recognizing the incentive to science and the arts.. threw that one redeeming quality a bone with an "allowance" for congress to act to protect it. Unfortunately that concession is seen as an unlimited license permitting complete and flagrant nullification of the bill of rights for the financial gain of the moneyed and powerful few.

People are angry, and getting angrier every day. This is their way of revolting, and shows just how badly the system needs to change. We want it all, we want it when ever we want it, and we want it for a reasonable and fair fee. We don't want to be controlled by corporations and force fed their crappy content how they want it fed to us. I'm pretty sure they are laughing at us all, and especially the political/court system since that si especially what is allowing them to get away with all this crap. Why go after the real pirates anyways? Not when there is good money to be made by emotionally brutalizing regular folks by forcing them to settle, since they can't afford to fight back. David and goliath indeed. Yes, it's quite the nice little racket they have going on, isn't it? If we're not careful we're going to end up much like China, and other countries that censor everything and anything, and if you don't like it you disappear permanently. Don't laugh, it can happen. History has shown us time and again that it can. If we let it that is. That's the the key component.
