I stopped reading here at it was BS. Probably written by someone who's scared he can't download free content.

Innovation has emerged as a key means by which the US can pull itself out of this lackluster economy. In the State of the Union, President Obama referred to China and India as new threats to America's position as the world's leading innovator. But the threats are not just external. One of the greatest threats to the US's ability to innovate lies within: specifically, with the music and movie business. These Big Content businesses are attempting to protect themselves from change so aggressively that they risk damaging America's position as a world leader in innovation.
China and India are not new threats to the US because on innovation. They are threats because they have limitless workers toiling away for very very little. Most of their innovation would sink like a brick if they were paying US wages.

Without profits from sales how can the music and movie businesses afford to innovate?

How many of the sites giving access to the pirated material are based outside the US. And the profits from those sites going outside the US?

Profits pay for innovation. That's why China and India can afford to innovate. GG buys so much form these countries because it's cheap. The companies producing the product can put money in R & D.

GG you really are a dumb fuck.

To you change = free content.

To me Free content = Bankruptcy. Except for the bastards that stole it.
