Re: It wont stop piracy

said by gaforces See Profile :

All it will do is anger the pirates
It will do more than that; one thing that large companies do is support burdensome regulation on the industry because it hits the small guys much harder than the big guys. In this way it will reduce the competition.

It's not like the big guys like to waste their resources on foolish stuff like this, but they see a clear secondary gain.

@cox.net		What next?

Why just music and movies? Why don't they police for illegal software, games, porn (which is still alegal business model) and these people probably lose a lot more of business dollars than the **AAs.
