Keep in mind that the USA is the only country Netflix operates in that even has the DVD by mail option. Everywhere else is streaming only. If it is working everywhere else why not in the US?
I am in my late 20's, I've never met a single person in my age group who found file sharing, of any kind, to be morally wrong. Most people say the only reason they don't file share is because they aren't computer literate enough to setup bit torrent.
That seems like a pretty big problem for the content industry that won't adapt.
How come no one ever mentions the commercial air cargo in the hold of all of those passenger planes? You know, the cargo that doesn't go through any sort of screening at all?
You want your kids to grow old flying on planes maybe you should be more concerned with getting the commercial cargo screened instead of patting down little kids.
It gives the party that posted the material a chance to respond to the take down request before it is taken down.
In the US system once the notice is sent the service provider has to "take down" the item at the heart of the complaint right away to keep their safe harbors, in the proposed Canadian system the "accused" has a chance to prove they had the rights to use the works before they are removed.
I with you as well, I don't trust any of the current parties with a majority. The NDP sounds nice with all of their social policies but how are we going to pay for them?
The Conservatives would sell us out to the US and corporations in a heart beat if they could and I can't stand the Liberals. I'm in Alberta however, it'll be a few more years yet before we stop electing anything other than blue. I swear the people hear just vote Conservative without a second thought.
Conservatives internet and copyright policies scare me.

That could never work though could it? Netflix type price point is too close to what consumers want to pay, that won't do.
