I'll tell you what, you just keep confronting what you think the problem is and we'll (if I may) keep confronting what we think the problem is, as, apparently, the two are not the same.
I call bullshit on your bullshit. They carve out death with their licensing.. and just squeeze air. Tighter. $1.29
Thinking that their content is what the Internet lives for, why it exists, this is not only ludicrous but darn right stupid. Ignorant would be too flattering.

Could Someone Please Fully Qualify "economic threat"?
"I thank the majority leader for seeking to schedule that debate on this serious economic threat. I understand that when the Republican leader recently objected, and Republican senators who had cosponsored and long supported this effort jumped ship, he was faced with a difficult decision,"
What the fuck? Where is this "threat" exactly? The only threat I can make out is to the pockets of legislators and that of placing poorly run businesses as a priority over the Constitution, people and reality.

I don't think I want the tone changed in this particular conversation just yet. Your tone has been one of contempt, abuse, ridicule and falsities. Your tone sucks. You're just starting to have to pay attention to our tone and now you want to change it? I don't think so. Not now, not yet. We're not done debating with you nor are we even on a level playing field, hell the game has just started and you want to flip the coin again?
Your tone sucks and you're going to have to work a lot harder to make up for that before we change anything.
Good question. I do not necessarily have any sort of insightful answer for you but your question is exactly one stop short of present reality. Essentially, "perfectly accceptable behaviour" has not been and is not yet well formed as it pertains to today's communications facilities. So, piracy is the exact same problem it always has been - it will always exist but in order to minimise the impact of existing piracy one must first come to terms with the situation at present. Situational awareness is the problem, more specifically, how to handle the situation that is current communications capabilities.
It saddens me really that the "folks in charge" continue to A) support this clearly, clearly dysfunctional mindset
B) refuse any challenge to the obvious media industry cartels collusion (on a number of fronts)
C) allow the governments of all of us to enable questionable actions for extremely questionable purpose - that effect clear support of shoring up a cartel
D) fail to recognise that piracy is, truly, not the problem
E) reinforce the grip of good old TV type of craptasticness that is taking far too long (relatively speaking) to loosen its grip on the throats of consumers
and
F)inally, that these "folks in charge" are actually allowing, nay, supporting, encouraging, financing the seemingly endless threats to individual liberty, privacy, freedom to and for information for copyright. For copyright? For fucking movies and pictures and music and whatever! Well I say fuck every single pair of tits and swinging dick that can't step back from the precipice and give some thought and consideration to the true problem, the true issues currently affecting the *global* societies. Who gets to see your movie when and where is no longer your problem. HOW they see that movie is.
They're not providing therefore they must be eliminated. No law will prevent this. No law.
Exactly. When's the last time your television call you a fucking twit. .. wait. .. When's the last time *their* television call them a .. meh. Never mind.

I'd have to say that MAFIAA (you know, I really don't like that moniker much so how about DICKHEADS), I'd have to say that the DICKHEADS are not really interested in "securing archaic business models" much. No, no, they're much more interested in corralling in this new fangled intermahwebby thingermabob so that they can, in fact, create upgraded and modernised business models. No matter what they drag down.
DICKHEADS don't give a rat's ass about infringement as they, more or less and more than less, are the cause of the "rampant infringement" to begin with.
DICKHEADS want ALL the control over creation AND creators. Period. They definitely don't want the likes of Busta minting coin without their knowledge, advantage and control. They could give another rat's ass about the artist. I'm pretty tired of "for the artist" too (how about "for my DICKHEAD ass only").
How many songs older than 10 years can you name where the musicians call out "The Labels" for polluting their cause and molesting their income? I got one from Bad Brains and one from Sublime just today. They've always been DICKHEADS and DICKHEADS never change. Down with DICKHEADS!
And fuck all you bitches that try to provide cover for your DICKHEAD masters (yah, bob, I like the beer, good to loosen up my free speech muscles... speaking of..). out.
