Survival? Are tou talking about a growing or suffering industry? "If you were selling hotdogs and you started losing money, would you continue selling hotdogs at a loss for 10 straight years? The reason I ask is because I looked at some of the industries own numbers and it baffles me. If online file-sharing is killing these industries, why would they keep producing more content? And I'm sure someone is going to pull out a study showing trends in per-capita spending adjusted for inflation versus discretionary income per single-family residence that shows the entertainment industry is in a bleak position, but that's not what I'm after. If nobody is buying buggy-whips, you don't increase production year after year. Yet over the last 10 years: The number of movies released is up 23% - [1] The number of books published is up 47% - [2] The number of albums released is up 25% - [3] The video games industry is up 23% - [4]" from another comprehensive write up on this topic https://www.insightcommunity.com/step2/311/why-i-pirate-an-open-letter-to-content-creators > true path is somewhere in the middle... the self reasonsing and being > sensible is usually the correct approach. -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as they follow the rules: laws and constitution. _______________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
