I really think its quite comical really. The same shit happened when napster was big. Except it was with music and the RIAA. Without Napster, where would the MP3 player market be right now? Would there be as many "legal" Mp3 services out there, (ie ITunes)? Where would the CD burner market be?? What about the DVD-R for that matter?
Granted these markets would have slowly made their way into the scene, but because Napster was such a great hit, it got those who had never thought to go to the internet to get music to do just that.
These people are brain dead if they think they are going to make a difference to the "piracy" that is going on around the US (it's legal in canada btw). They made an initial impact by shutting down sites such as Bittorrent, but they will be back. Money is still being made in the Movie industry, it is just being shuffled around to different people. COME UP WITH A LEGAL WAY TO DOWNLOAD MOVIES EFFICIENTLY!!!! Do it, Come up with a LEGAL version of BT. A way to buy movies online for dirt cheap. The american public can go buy DVD burners and dvd-r's and make their own dvd's if they want. I would be more willing to pay $10 to download a movie than pay $20 to go buy it in the store or have it shipped to me.
Any opinions??
