I like what Bob Lefsetz says on this:

Quote
The customer is absolutely living in the present. He's not watching commercials on TV, he's TiVo'ing his shows. Better yet, he's watching prime time fare on Hulu. People want a lot of music. If you don't sell it to them in a way they want, they won't buy. As for cutting off their service for stealing via their ISP... As my mother always says, what a way to make friends and influence people. And if you think you can willy-nilly cut off someone's Internet service without a hearing, without due process, then you probably think that General Motors can suspend a person's right to drive. Internet service is a utility which all depend upon. If you think the government is going to let the RIAA cut off this lifeline in order to save its decrepit business, you don't understand the legal system.


Let's hope he's right about that last bit.
