From the article: "After watching all three hours of testimony, it was clear that the congressional representatives, understood just how bad things had become for artists. It was nothing less than a revelation for those like myself who have been following the destruction of piracy for years. Every member of the subcommittee saw the need to provide greater protection for the individual artist. The cruel absurdity of hundreds of millions of nearly worthless take down notices every year was finally inescapable."
I'd be encouraged, but after the latest SCOTUS ruling on campaign donations I'd put my money on Google, et al, easily beating the artists and producers. |
Normally I would agree but the economy is in pretty bad shape. Piracy, the Internet and tech companies like google have played a huge role in that. All 3 are destroying jobs faster than they can be replaced. It is no great feat of understanding to see that all of the money in the world will not make any difference at all if in the end it there are no jobs.
Now this is not me agreeing or disagreeing with you. All I can say is that I can see it going both ways.
