Apparently the groups opposed to this are in favor of a "free market solution". I'm amazed that the group with a monopoly that extends 50-70 years after death and takes the stance of play by our rules or not at all is lobbying for a free market solution. I'm sorry but the true free market solution is to abolish copyright.
The existing copyright laws need to be balanced with the recognition of consumer rights and when the copyright holders don't understand this ... well unfortunately this means more legislation.
