kudos:4 | . I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss this as not working. The people that come up with these ideas are very smart and understand the limits of their political clout. They will get these types of things passed (using their incredible political power in the US to strong arm other countries) and people will be scared of losing their internet. Because the majority of people still want to "own" music and "it's only 99 cents (or $1.29)" per track they will pay for it.
Obviously new methods of file sharing will need to evolve to thwart this. Aside from that, the only ways this could be a failure for the entertainment industry are if people (en masse) suddenly realize the extent to which they are being ripped off and lied to or if politicians suddenly decide to not pander to special interests. Both of these are basically laughable. |
