| ISVs As an ISV I loose money to internet piracy, but I'm not getting anything from the government, no slice of taxes collected off of blank media etc, so these laws are really purely for the big media companies and only because they can lobby them into place for their own benefit.
So who is going to pay for enforcement of these new laws, apparently we will through increased taxes whatever. So not only are the media giants going to benefit, but we will have to pay to enforce their laws, sweet deal for them for sure and considering how much they are paying out to the artists (ie none), really sweet deal.
Zune was unable to swing any kind of deal with the Canadian labels (ie like the x bucks a month unlimited access deal they have state side, you don't own the music but are leasing it which was OK by me, but not everyone's choice), so I'm thinking the labels are not exactly willing to change with the times, but ultimately that will be their problem to deal with as I would think at some point independent labels will be more willing to work with the new lay of the land then them and slowly start gaining market share.
