Re: Filtering wouldn't be an issue except for content thieves said by fAcEtIOUs:And why is the business model failing? Because there are too many people with no morals and think stealing a service is acceptable. so the content industries' business model - suing customers, making content less valuable by adding DRM - is failing because of infringers?
who knew this powerful engine of economic growth, so vital to the U.S. economy they need special protection by the U.S. government, is so susceptible to people that simply make digital copies.
maybe they should change their business model. on the other hand, getting the government to prop up your business model is easier, I guess, but it looks like socialism to me. |
| don't forget about producing content that isn't worth shelling out ~$20 for a few good songs, ~$8 (ignoring the overpriced food and drink) to see a movie, ~$20 for a disc that has the possibility not being compatible with the player or not allowing playback on a ~$1000 TV.
i think the entertainment industry is doing just fine. they charge a fortune for seats at sport games, sport stars and movie stars (along with the executives) are making millions while contributing partically NOTHING of real value (like say developments in science, engineering, physics, medical technology, saving lives at the hospital, just to name a very small selection) to society. I'll never shed a tear if something bad happens to sport star or a movie star. |
