destruction of legitimate services in the name of heresay, 'MPAA says it's bad, so it must be so', is not an inherent violation of the 1st Amendment? or did you not read the Constitution?
price it within a range I am willing to pay, and I will pay, its called market acceptance, otherwise, I will go get it for free, and you get nothing. do you copyrwrongs get it yet? the market sets the price, not your misguided mathematics. if songs were .10¢, and movies 1$, I would pay, otherwise, it's free for me. I pay more for usenet, vpn, and bandwidth because of your inflated mathematics, and i get what I want, when I want, and watch it when it suits me, without commercials. Roll back your stupid monopoly to 14 years, and work for a living, then you might get my money, pff, never ever, you have poisoned the waters, I screw copyright every chance I get, as often as I can, go cry and get you another legislation, and I will infringe on it as well. I can't buy hdds fast enough to store the crap you make.. I haven't seen a commercial in 9 years. more of me exist daily, so good luck with useless laws. I have a server built on technology that is now 9 years old, and will still circumvent any law you can create, 20Tb and growing..
so, go, cry a river, line pockets, sue everyone, it won't stop me, or the millions of others who discovered a better distribution system than yours. enjoy.

i did follow your post, and comments, and found it motivating enough to support your position, and use it as a chance to offer another equal point that supported yours, and explained my own to show that it is not an issue with copyright/wrong, but an issue of business model. I cannot fathom why the copywrong feel entitled to be paid for something they create ad infinium, whereas developers like ourselves must adapt, and understand that we do not have the privilege of government granted welfare that entitles them to income beyond the ability to actually create.
some of us have a secret clearance provided by the TSA, and I do not abuse mine, a SIDA clearance requires that you wear identification between the shoulders, above the waist, yet probably 60% of knuckledraggers do not even comply with this simple directive..
I agree, probably 90% of the p2p out there isn't even based on ads, or monetary gain. Even if the copywrong's get their way with PROTECT IP, it will do nothing to stem the distribution of content, it will only educate the uneducated on how to use proxies, dns spoofing, vpns and the like.
If so much money is allegedly made off these ad based p2p sites, then why doesn't the MAFIAA build a few thousand? it might offset the ludicrous 135 billion you claim in losses.
You know what other industry provides the same GDP to the US as the entertainment industry? The pet industry, yup, that's right, all those leashes, and poochie pedicures provide the equal amount of business to the bottom line, sad when you think about it..
I take Microsoft and Adobe products, paid for mind you, and create scarcities with them. I am a software architect and database developer. I create content. I am paid a handsome salary to create million dollar software for some big names. They in turn, get to keep the software I create, and make money by not having to spend the millions of dollars to acquire said software, only to pay my salary to create the product, and they keep the patents and copyrights on anything I create, similar to an artist, in essence, I am an artist, I just use 1's and 0's to create with. The difference is that you cannot copy my product, in a way, it has security (DRM) built in, you have to login to the software to be able to use it. In theory, you could copy the front end code and backend database to another server, but logistically, you cannot obtain a complete copy for unintended use. This is called a business model, and quite a good one, I think. I get paid to organize 1's and 0's into content that has ROI, and a big one. The company is happy, I am happy, everyone is happy.
My point is, that over the 15 years I have been creating software, I have had to evolve my business model to ensure the scarcity (my talent to create) remains viable, even with the advent of digital infringement. It was an easy migration that evolved over time, and I just went with the flow. Instead of building stand-alone programming functionality, I isolated the scarcity to provide me with a handsome salary. (not including bonuses, stock options, and other incetives :))
To expect the market to 'owe' you a living for something you created years ago is just plain insane. Regurgitating nonsensical redux of 'Planet of the Apes' does not give you a free pass by Go, collect 200 million dollars. Adapt to survive, like everyone else has to.
