Here is another idea that might come to Europe at some time in the near future (since they already have to pay a surcharge on all storage media that is then distributed to the media companies -- you have to pay even when you just buy a DVD to store business/personal files!). A huge surcharge on all internet connections. And then everybody will be legally free to just download whatever they want. And society pays. Someone always does. At the moment it is those of us who pay for content.
