Yet still they persist in providing an overpriced product that not many are interested in purchasing at that price.

Never mind. The cave is warm and dry and that shelters them from the big bad world outside.
The US is the most important one of these countries. For Switzerland's entertainment needs, however Germany and France also come to mind.

This legislation sends a clear message to the US entertainment industry that they must lobby the US government to put pressure on Switzerland to reverse this and will give them more ammunition in their fight to keep DRM and regional restrictions. I can hear them now "whole countries are legalizing theft!" Is that what you want?

Not interested in purchasing those overpriced products? Great, then don't read or watch them -- that will teach them. And those products are much more expensive than they have to be because honest people pay the tab for the downloaders.
