Re: Supply and Demand

This is the digital age. I don't think anybody's asking for government subsidies or the 'right' for free entertainment, but likewise content owners can't and don't have the right to magically suspend the internet, in an infinitely copyable (non-scarce) & moving at the speed of light digital world.

My suggestion would be for content owners to consider the world they live in, and adjust. There are ways for them to embrace digital distribution and make a great living without playing whack-a-mole.

Attempting to artificially limit access promotes piracy, if content owners don't want to accept that, they really should be doing something else.

The problem is that when content owners are talked about it refers to the ones at the very top 99% of the time so laws and actions are based on what they want pushing everyone else out of the market even if it's one where people just want to share their own created content.
