I got here from Law School - that says it all

Lets get businessmen back into business and put the lawyers back into home offices. From this businessman's perspective what is the difference between going to your local library and checking out the film vs pirate copies? How about borrowing a purchased copy from your mom or a friend? From a businessman's perspective there is no difference at all because there is no payment.

See the problem for what it is and not what a lawyer wants it to be. Its peanuts and hardly worth the effort of legislation.

Lets look at a film closely. It is itself a mash up. The music plus the story is mashed into images. Does the originator of the story get royalties? Do the song writers? Or were the story and songs selected so that no copyright might be owed?

My point is that virtually every film maker has pirated something in the work. Tell me this isn't so, then point fingers at equipment manufacturers and fair use laws. Now think of ways to profit like bundling DVDs with other product, poster's, shirts, autographs of the stars and get over it.
