I don't buy this argument. See my read on the real agenda, in Msg #68.
But if you (or anyone) has an idea of how to stop internet copyright violators without inconveniencing everyone in the process, I'd love to hear it.
The same way you stop every other crime -- by enforcing the law against individual violators. Duh.
And yet, with law enforcement unable to get a handle on the overwhelming number of internet-enabled copyright violations, you criticize the music industry for trying to take its protection into its own hands (eg. DRM) and protect their copyrights. That's like telling someone, "Don't protect yourself... Wait for the cops to arrive."
'Duh' yourself.
