think about it for a second, look at just the vcr
everyone who builds them
everyone who delivers them
everyone who sells them
everyone who supports them
everyone who fixes them.

there are a lot of jobs that dependent on fair use to keep existing the way it is now.

why do you think congress didn't side with the movie industry when was claiming that the vcr was the boston strangler

because for every man year of lost labour the MPAA claimed was happening, they could so 6 man years of labor was lost due to the sale of physical good.

it wasn't until that door was closed and the movie industry was forced to look for a market solution that they finally open their eyes to the fact that porn companies were making huge piles of money putting their movies on those cassettes and selling them to people.

Exploiting the technology made way more money then what was lost because people stopped watching the commercials on timeshifted copies.
