you really believe that the fabricated claims of loss that the MPAA studies claim are happening are going to survive discussion periods for the law

especially when their own studies " determined that some of those lost sales would have required a person to jump on a plane and fly half way around the world to buy the product."

and

the fair use economy that is threatened with such a change in the law is currently 10-15 times as big as the fabricated economic loss.
