I was thinking more about folks that sell IP here Penforhire, than those that consume it. I understand very well their POV and how, I guess in the opinion here of the majority, for worse, they are the growing/emerging market segment.

its funny. When the press, radio, tv, video tapes and DAT came around these same discussions took place. Folks swore they would be wiped out and really only one set got killed off (hand transcribers). History shows that tech helps grow markets instead of decimating them.

Hell even public libraries caused a stink. Publishers learned to work alongside them. In a world where "Once its Bits, it ain't worth Sh-" I personally think the effort should be spent adapting to and exploiting the market instead of trying to beat it into submission, pissing off the customer base at the same time.

That's just Good Business.
