It's a little late for the music industry to recoup, but I would say that the Movie Industry has a tremedous opportunity here. I don't forsee the huge surge in movie downloading as was the case in music downloading because most people do not have the patience to sit down on their computer and spend the time doing it. The files that we are talking about are huge! In two or three years time, this will probably change as the computers and software get better and I think the movie industry needs to get cracking if they expect to capatilize. Alienating your customer base by sueing them is not the answere. The “Sue em all” approach is not going to work and everybody knows it.

We all know the reality. Porn is a gigantic hog of bandwidth. Just wait till they start lodging lawsuits!

I'd venture to say that at least 70% of bit torrent traffic (which makes up a third of the web) is video content.. and i can tell you right now fansubs arent a big enough sector to fill that kind of bandwidth... 4% my arse.. how many college students are there in the US again? how many high school students?
