Solution 1: Stop buying all prerecorded music and videos. Don't rent at Blockbuster either. You want music? Get it off the net. Get HBO if you're desperate for movies. (Downloading movies off the Net isn't really ready for prime time yet .... still takes too long and the quality sucks.)
When these companies' revenues start falling through the floor, they'll start to get the hint.
The music industry hates that too.
