How would Antigua measure $21 million of copyright? For music and movies, would it be the publisher-suggested retail price of albums and blu-ray discs?
If they want to sell the content online, how do they even find out content pricing when publishers don't sell direct and give different prices to different retailers?
If they want to sell content subscriptions, how can they guess how much content they could stream for $21 million?
- jpdoctor 14y ago> How would Antigua measure $21 million of copyright? I think the bigger question is: How would the US verify that only $21M of infringement occurred?
- gburt 14y agoThe current "standard" appears to be: connect to the Bittorrent swarm, see how many people are connected, multiply by $OBSCENE. That's assuming this ends up peer to peer, I guess that's a bad assumption given that it will be government-sanctioned.
- DennisP 14y agoClearly the only objective way is market value, best judged by whatever they can sell access for. I think $5 for unlimited access was mentioned.
- krichman 14y agoI would donate more than that to any entity that wants to disrupt this overbearing copyright industry, and that goes especially for sovereign nations. I'm hoping Antigua goes all out and becomes a data haven that refuses to extradite for IP infringement. Maybe then the industries that are innovating solely in the field of amount of money per lawsuit will then be forced to compete on the merits of their offerings.
