it seems the publicity from the law increases the number of people who are educated about all the ways to get stuff for free.

of course the "piracy" includes things like using p2p as a super vcr so i am sure it also a lot of people who upset with the ubsurd arguement that if you use a crappy pvr to timeshift a show that legal but when you do the exact same thing using the swarm it some how illegal.

Sure, those laws are definitely silly.... I don't see the problem here....

It's not like piracy has hurt our industry or anything.

Now, the question comes, well, all right, what is wrong with the VCR. One of the Japanese lobbyists, Mr. Ferris, has said that the VCR -- well, if I am saying something wrong, forgive me. I don't know. He certainly is not MGM's lobbyist. That is for sure. He has said that the VCR is the greatest friend that the American film producer ever had.

I say to you that the VCR is to the American film producer and the American public as the Boston strangler is to the woman home alone.

within 5 years the american film producer was making more money from the home viewing market then all other revenue COMBINED.

these types of laws are exactly what the RIAA/MPAA asked for in past, the problem is that they are getting them now, which means the revenue stream that is possible is going to be killed before it is formed.
