And the point I was making is being missed. The ebook scenario could easily be applied to the music / movie industry. embrace the digital revolution, make e-distributions of some material free, ditch the DRM and the related expense of developing and using DRM. price the material accordingly to the reduced costs of production, stop being quite so greedy when it comes to per unit pricing. Think of it this way, if you make 2 pounds each on the sales of 5 DVDs you are making more money then 4 pounds each on the sale of 2 DVDs.

Legislation won't stop people waiting and using a library or DVD rental to avoid purchasing an expensive DVD, and those methods are legal. Has the music / movie industry complained about those methods of distribution yet?
