I am wondering how long before people start taking affront against the growing power of Intellectual Property laws and engage in armed rebellion (not that I am an advocate of violent revolution). After all, when your seed bank is owned by Monsanto even though natural wind drift and a careless neighbor infected you crops, when a person can own rights to a certain way of investing using existing laws tax laws, when you can't patent a bumblebee but can patent every single gene that makes up a bumblebee, and when you sell product where the person has no rights to the information/media/reasonable backup then something is seriously wrong.
If only a strong enough movement that would last a decade could sweep the US political system and change it... but really, when was the last time a youth movement stuck to its ideals rather than having everyone in it eventually sell out?
As for me, my embargo on music continues. No new CDs/downloads, no used CDs (as this means someone bought it new and supported the RIAA), and no listening to the radio/internet radio (which funnels ad revenue to the RIAA). How many are like me? Maybe .000001% of the market (if we're lucky)? Alas, it would take more like 80-90% of the market to do so - but people feel entitled to their music and so buy it. Here's an idea, go buy an instrument and start making your own music. Record it and distribute it online. Give us an RIAA alternative source of entertainment... oh, but that would require delaying gratification. That will never happen, especially in the USA.
