The Bad Old Days
I predict, that in twenty years' time we will look back on the first ten years of the new millennium and shake our heads in respect to the way media companies tried to halt progress. I am of course referring to the various legal actions taken by organizations like the RIAA and the MPAA against it's own customers for sharing/pirating music and movies.
The problem isn't that people wish to steal stuff. The problem is that there is a market for downloading music, movies and TV as well as letting the consumer decide what to watch and when to do it. I, for example, have downloaded Stargate and Stargate Atlantis episodes. Why? Stargate airs at the wrong time for me, and Atlatis doesn't air here at all. If the media companies can't provide a legal downloading option for a reasonable fee I simply resort to downloading from somewhere else.
Just give in, and let me pay, will ya? Don't alienate your customers with legal action. Change is inevitable, embrace it.
