I make you 100% correct, the current music and entertainment industry was founded on their ability to manufacture, promote and distribute MEDIA, like CD's, LP and Singles.....The internet now not only frees the consumer but the artist as well, this portion of the economy is heading for a meritocracy, which going to be a sea change. Successful artists based on consumer choice, not on promation by media companies. I never pirate content, i feel that if something entertains me that i should pay the artist for his work, comes from being an ex contractor. As an example i had NO issue paying (£22) for the recent Blu-ray disc of Ironman, however others i know simply PINCHED the DVD from torrents.....a practice i really don't agree with. If you want to stop piracy, drop the on release cost of a DVD/Blu-ray to $10, after a set period of time after release, let people download it for $1 or for nothing.....entertainment companies who try the find and fine approach via ISP's are doomed.
