[QUOTE="kenjib, post: 120183, member: 530"] The digital revolution can't be stopped. The genie is out of the bag. A new business model needs to be developed that embraces this free flow of information. I think whoever finds out what it is will be able to stake a nice juicy claim in the new industry. You can't stop piracy. If Disney buys out enough politicians to get protection into hardware someone will just crack it a week after it's out. I just think that it's a shame that the big dinosaur corporations are kicking and screaming about this. If they would just accept it and find the best way to deal with it a new industry could form and the smaller companies wouldn't have to be the real victims of this intermediary period. It's a shame that companies are harmed by piracy. It would be better if they could figure out how to profit most from it instead. It'll just take someone to think outside of the box a bit. Whoever pulls it off will K.O. Ted Turner and all of the other media lobbyists. I think that this is just the awkward adolescent phase of the information age. Things still need to be straightened out, but trying to stop it all in a Luddite fashion is hardly the best solution. It's kind of like cloning in that way. The Bush Administration is in denial and if they don't jump on the boat it's going to sail off to Europe. [/QUOTE]
