This law is so darn screwed up, its hilarious. This industry that is demanding the internet gets destroyed as we know it to protect their DVD sales…originally demanded that the US government outlaw and ban the VCR tape and DVD. Hell, the TV studios wanted the Tivo banned.
We have an industry refusing to change with technology, demanding that they get their cut for distribution (especially the music industry) when they are completely unnecessary now. Why should I have to pay Sony for downloading music, when I can just as easily purchase copies of the music from the artist, ensuring they get more than pennies compare to the record company?
This is akin to the horse and buggy industry demanding the US government bail them out and outlaw the combustion engine to protect them from the automobile. What is next, Blockbuster demanding the US government outlaw the distribution of films through the mail and streaming to save it’s outdated store model?
