ben the industry has been in the press often here and abroad moaning that they didnt want to be the police on this and the 3 strike thing was dropped mainly because of their objections ( just do a few searches if you dont belive me )
as to the copying of mp3's meaning lost revenue i have to laugh even in the USA where this idea came from its now not even seen that way by the courts see

in fact research done by Frank N Magid suggest that copying actually make the industry money as those doing it buy more DVD's and go to more movies and rent more movies than the average person by quite a bit and although this research was mostly about film it applies equally to music

any company that wants to make this work needs to consider what ever they sell as sold and that those who bought it can do with it as they wish
once they grasp that idea they may find that people will buy and they may even make some money
as to downloading of tv shows killing off them that to is laughable the reason lost ect are so big is because they got downloaded and shared and hence talked about
