Companies need to realise that regardless of how much they want to charge people for *every* song they download or every plastic part they print, It’s not revenue “lost” because for most people it’s a case of “Take it or leave it”. If it’s free they’ll give it a try but if they had to pay for it they wouldn’t bother. I’ve got about 3,500 films I have downloaded. 99% of those have already been broadcast on TV so I have paid for the right to watch them through my satellite subscription. It’s no different than if I had recorded them onto a DVD and copied the DVD to my PC. Would I have bought any of them if I couldn’t download them? No! Why not? Because I couldn’t afford it. For all these do-gooders who say “If you can’t afford to buy something, don’t have it” – who loses out if I download it? The film company doesn’t lose out because I wouldn’t pay for it anyway!

Even if they shut down the entire Internet (an intolerable situation for every business sxcept the movie and recording industry), there would still be the possibility of exchanging disks with friends – and the “six degrees” theory means that you could get any design (or movie, or CD) with no more than six exchanges between friends.

What is needed is a new business model, not a new fascist, totalitarian government agency.

That can be a whole different level of penalty.
