Of course, even if this passes, people will still find ways to "pirate" music and movies. Fighting against changing technology will simply impoverish us further.

I take back that first part. Even the bankers were wise enough to quit doing some of the stupid shit they were doing. They just wanted free money for their stupidity. What the RIAA and MPAA are trying to do is even worse when you think about it. I wonder if we'll ever see Occupy Hollywood. Somehow I doubt it.
