Ah, but if you don't understand that, then you are missing the point.
I'm pretty much done with this, I've said what I want to say and you just want to argue your point with which I disagree because you are only looking at the issue from one limited perspective - that of the consumer and are attempting to dismiss the inherent changes in technology which completely change the ground rules. You want the new technology to be provided without changes in the rules and it just simply is not possible because of the inherent difference in capabilities and ability to abuse it. As I said earlier this is exactly the same thing that the music industry had gone through and it is still suffering from it and I don't really expect it to ever be the same. The publishing industry is in the midst of this change and it too will never be the same.
