@omni Well, in England we did really well for a while. We had an investigation, found all the ways technology had outpaced the law, and we were going to overhaul copyright in a consumer friendly manner, legalise format shifting, demand providers actually make content available legally and without onerous restriction before they're allowed to threaten people, etc. Then suddenly and totally mysteriously, the guy in charge of the comitee was fired, and replaced with someone else, who, the day after having dinner with some recording industry execs, tore up everything and tried to force "3 strikes and you're banned from the net" through parliament.
