And Kenny, that this is "copyright". In music, artists are doing just fine under the current system. It's not so good for the record companies, but copyright is
not there for the companies.
What "different" needs to be done? How are you going to "protect" artists rights, given they seem to be doing just fine? It sounds very much like you want to push back invasive forms of DRM onto all digital media, which will just crash sales in favour of the darknet.
The market has reacted strongly against consumer DRM. This is no coincidence, and once more it does nothing for the economic value of an artist's works or his Moral Rights.
