The real problem here is clearly the laws. They have been made consumer unfriendly for two reasons:
1) The industry sees that it is to their advantage to have such laws and push hard for them.
2) Too small a portion of the voting public understands or cares about these issues to force the congress critters to pass more sensible laws.
It will take quite some time but as increasingly larger percentages of the voters become digital savvy - and almost all of the under 25 crowd is now - we can expect this to change. Then, and only then, will congress have to respond to the will of the people instead of the will of a few greedy buttholes in Nashville and Hollywood.
