It's not that I didn't get what you are saying, it's
that I disagree with you that the outcome is set in stone.
It's a given that governments, backed by eternally backwards industries,
will try to attack innovative new technologies or business models
like Kickstarter that could threaten those industries. And
they will use ridiculous edge cases or contrived, hypothetical
threats to argue against them, and maybe achieve temporary
victories in the form of stupid laws.
And as I said, it will be futile. Innovation, in the end, will
win. Progress will eradicate those opposed to it, and reward the
ones who embrace it. Just like free sharing of information, art and
culture will eventually be accepted as one of the greatest
technological advancements in human history, and we'll deeply
regret the decades wasted fighting against it.
