I think your conflating my position with another.  I understand that eliminating copyright would be a massive upheaval.  I do understand that many companies, industries, and career paths would be drastically affected negatively.<p>I just don&#x27;t think that maintaining the status quo justifies the current policing of personal computer and internet usage.<p>Nowadays, film and music are just files, and can be freely copied at will.  The creative industries have refused to acknowledge this reality.  I don&#x27;t think any individuals should be jailed or bankrupted to maintain this illusion any longer.<p>When the dust settles, society will still have art and entertainment.  It will just be different from what we are used to.
