History is on the side of the copiers
---Better get used to it, because I guarantee that the law is on
the side of the copyright holders (and rightly so), and that is
simply not going to change---

You can continue to stick your head in the sand, and try to get
more and more ridiculous laws passed to stop the flow of
progress, but you will, as has happened repeatedly throughout
history, fail.

People said the same things you're saying about the printing
press, piano rolls, radio, the vcr, etc., etc. You can't stop
progress just because it messes up your business model. You
can try, but you will lose.
