That will change when, instead of the RIAA thugs trying to destroy 9-year-olds and grandmothers with multi-million dollar lawsuits, they try to get them in prison. You can't suddenly criminalize something done by hundreds of millions of people of every age, race, creed, and economic class and expect it to work. The mindless jerks who push these laws will join Sirius Cybernetics Corporation against the wall when the revolution comes.
This is the world that the RIAA, MPAA, and the fools that they have in their pockets want:

In the long term, these laws and treaties will be destroyed, and the unions that push them will be destroyed. They may be too stupid to see that, or they may be hoping to squeeze out a few more billions before their end, but their end is coming. THIS is the attitude of future generations:
