Without a law to protect creators the profits on being a creator will dwindle. Less profit means less investment means less new products. Or what the music industry has turned to, churning out low level products to get a quick profit and move onto the next craze.

The present laws are inadequate. Change will happen because billions are being lost to some Governments in terms of taxes. A company in Denmark or Russia ripping off US products isn't paying US taxes. Even by giving away billions of $ to earn millions of $ isn't making tax $$$$ and that's the motivation.
