We will achieve fairness once legislation adjust to Intellectual Property abuses, if not in the laws, at least in its interpretation the abuses are pretty clear to me. IP Protection is for the ownership of the art. Whether an intermediary between the audience and the author exists or not. Somehow, by extension, we ended up with exclusivity contracts and protection of the distribution. Lobbies made the law against consumers who don't play by the distributor rules, and worse, even against authors of tools made for use against distributors abuses (DRM) OK, who's to say what is fair, but it's certainly not individual consumers who have the upper hand: actually they do, unsubscribe and going pirating full on, everybody loses.
