i love this arguement
the movie industry is arguing we need new laws to deal with piracy BECAUSE it killing the industry
the facts prove it not doing damage at all.
i never said it justifed stealing/piracy just refuting the bogus logical statement
we don't need new laws
piracy is probable not growing at all ( it just moved from invisible behind the scenes to a publically countable )
so we don't need to change the laws in any way
they work just fine. If you respect fair use.

If the recording industry, movie studios, porn, software, gaming industries can make even MORE money than they do conducting the businesses that they do - then fuck YA, they should be totally able to - If piracy is cutting in to that EVEN IF THEY ARE ALREADY MAKING MONEY - then piracy should be mede a criminal offense and the asshats like you should go to jail.

but what if piracy is actually dropping it just appears to going up because it move from the invisible behind the scene to a publically and counted medium.
what if all the people torrenting tv shows are just the same people who borrowed cassettes from their neighbours.
you could count the latter, you can count the former, but the number is exactly the same
why use the fact that you can count it as a justification to take way the right from the new technology.

piracy/filesharing/counterfeitting is NOT fair use
publically posting someone elses full work is NOT fair use
putting your 'backups' in a "free-access to the whole world" position is NOT fair use

you seriously need to read the case law that established the fair use
you need to read the congressional debates when the MPAA was begging for new laws to stop the death of the industry if this unfair "fair use" was allowed to continue.
these arguement were already addressed, and ruled against your side
your trying to reverse the right already defined by the previous battle.
that the main reason why i believe the penalty for abusing fair use (like making an arguement you already lost 24 years ago)
should have the penalty of stripping you of your copyright
copyright holders would not try this bullshit if they knew it would cost them their copyright.
because you still haven't figuired out that i am right
