you know how many times these type of treaties have been tried

do you realize how many time comsumer groups have rallied to make it clear to any politician that if they ratify such a bill they will never get another vote again.

every time these types of bill die quickly.

no matter how much you want fair use to be secondary to your exclusive rights they are not, and when such draconian laws can be explained to violate cede rights legitimate consumers can get behind defending not giving up rights they already have

Oh and btw it not wanting stuff for free
is not paying 3 or 4 times for the same right to view

it to stop bullshit like, you could have kept the tape for ever with a vcr but now that it digital you have to pay for the same right you used to have.
