Exhibit 319 on why the model is broken. Money paragraphs:

"When NBC pulled its digital offerings from the iTunes store,
researchers found that downloads from The Pirate Bay of NBC programmes
shot up, but so did downloads of programmes from other broadcasters –
and they stayed high even when NBC restored the lawful alternative to
Apple.

"In other words, when the entertainment industry asks us all to pay
for its profit maximisation strategy of not selling right now it
actually creates more pirates – and then asks us to pay to police
them, too."
