I see this as a perfectly logical next step: the demands eventually grow outrageous enough that it's all just begging for a huge backfire. The potential difference between the old fashioned copyright business and the new wave is growing. In order to keep things balanced as the new wave is gaining more energy the old business must expend an equal amount of energy to compensate for this change. That's why when old structures are breaking they first resist until the last straw, and then come down collapsing.
