UK plans "three strike rule" for illegal downloads - Page 2

Sure, the internet has hurt the music industry. And with laws like this they will get hurt more. More and more new bands will circumvent the 'traditional' industry and utilize the internet in ways the record companies fear. It's already happening.

Another driving force is the consumer, pop stars and bands have made obscene amounts of money for to long, contributing to the consumer attitude. The industry can force draconian laws onto the public all they wan't, clearly the judicial system and lawmakers are more than happy to appease them and make criminals out of normal everyday people.

This is merely an attempt by record labels to maintain their 'traditional' industry in the face of overwhelming and unstoppable change. Take note record labels, adaption is better than annoying an already disgruntled consumer base.
