| It's a distribution issue... To clarify all biases here, I'm firmly on the pirate side, and I don't think any type of non-commerical infringements should be criminal offences.
Now that that's out of the way I can move on to my point.
Most independent musicians and filmakers in Canada (and in the states probably) have already moved to a digital medium of distribution, exploring alternative revenue streams.
The p2p (or future protocol) genie isn't going back into the bottle, and the numbers of people using these methods to access media isn't going to shrink anytime soon.
Larger media industries (RI/MPAA Members) are wasting their efforts fighting this one when they should be focusing their energies on expanding into alternative revenue streams that this new business model provides.
