Who says you and everyone else have the choice about what makes it and what doesn't? that's where the market comes in. The industry helps to push that market.

Its eventually going to get to the point where all of us as a whole are going to have to sacrifice a great deal of our rights and subject ourselves to massive oversight and technological shackles to allow copyright holders to adequately enforce their copyrights in a digital medium. Or, copyright as we know it for digital works is going to have to be reworked to accommodate the behavior of the masses, and also provide an incentive for people to continue to create works of art.
The debate is going to be over what provides more benefit to society as a whole.... copyright law to prop up old business models that cant adapt to modern technology and all the restrictions it creates or complete freedom of information?
