Shots fired in copyright cold war
Quote: "ATTEMPTS to block copying of music CDs will spark an arms race between record labels and hackers...Music companies needed to look at alternative ways of distributing music to the masses...But the music companies would be better advised to invest in solving this problem rather than in a fruitless arms race with hackers."
Comment: I fully acknowledge an artists right to be compensated for content creation. However, I just can't see how an industry can succeed with a strategy that involves conflict with your market. Figure out what your market wants...then create a means of giving it to them, while making a profit. That's economics. Currently, corporations are ignoring what consumers want...and are trying to punish them when they (the consumers) don't accept what's being offered. A brief moment of common sense would be nice...
