Re: Filtering wouldn't be an issue except for content thieves

The movie/TV industry is not failing despite widespread personal copying, they're just crying to Uncle. They do plenty well with their current distribution model.

The music industry is failing however, and has been going backward for over 10 years now, but it's not due to copying (which always happened), it's because of competition for entertainment dollars from the superior value of movies, and a deteriorating product due to their desire to make their own mass-produced crap they can control completely, rather than encourage truly creative artists whom they then have to pay.
