If I was the RIAA, it would be priority 1 objective to encourage downloading with busted business model, plea the government to fix it. Acquire rights to censor the web. Free downloads continue, but they get compensation for 2x and 3x (times overpriced markup) for every download through streamlined compensation processes through ISP's and streamlined lawsuits. End result: Move product at the speed of free, get paid ridiculous markup (times 3) for every download worldwide. AND become big brother. It is a Brilliant plan actually. Will they succeed? How much they succeed depends on what we do to stop them.
- JamisonM 15y agoWhile I appreciate the need for a political fight I still wonder why the tech community has not been working hard on a technical solution that will make much of what SOPA is supposed to have done to take sites off the Internet impossible? Shouldn't that be part of "what we do to stop them"? I will admit to not knowing enough to know if it is feasible/possible but I sure would like to hear from someone who does. We can't make tools that make a new, more decentralized, name system user friendly?
