God, yet another grim future. I won't call this a counter point, since what is argued is plausible, if not likely. What I will make a comparison to piracy back in the MP3 era. It really seemed like it would be impossible to stop it, and then came the RIAA, MPAA. Eventually governments managed to figure out the internet and how to deal with the small and nimble upstarts. But better still, (or less grim) is Netflix - when actual alternatives to piracy existed, people were more than happy to follow them. (Of course that era didn't last for long, but we'll mark that as the utilty limit of the comparison)
