In your estimation, obviously. The fact is, as the "pirates" like to remind everyone, that the times, business models and delivery mechanisms for digital media have changed. Consequently it should come as no surprise that the law in relation to the protection of same should change.

Advocates for change in the digital age need to be very, very careful for what they wish for. Governments and legislators have shown that they are no longer prepared to allow people to decimate the creative and ancilliary industries simply because "they can" or they don't have the patience to wait.

I'm sorry but that is the reality.
