- tsuraan 17y agoWould it be a cartel, or a voluntary tax? It sounds like it could evolve from a fine for illegal behaviour into a legal subscription program. The lawyers would be sad, but overall it might not be a bad deal.
- lmkg 17y agoEnforcing the anit-collusion laws runs into exactly the same problem as enforcing the original anti-copyright laws, so that's not really a solution.
- euccastro 17y agoColluders would be a subset of copyright infringers. Also, there wouldn't be that many insurance companies willing to do outlawed business, so it wouldn't be a problem to take a significant part of them to court.
- bshock 17y agoI'm certain that the RIAA and MPAA hope that the "cartel" known as the BitTorrent protocol will be ruled illegal. Sometimes collusion can be relatively spontaneous and nearly anonymous.
