Why, yes there is. I think I might buy now.

What I haven’t heard from anyone on this thread is a suggestion of how you balance fair use of the Internet with the rights of people who are having their property stolen using it. So please if you have a suggestion I am all ears.
the problem is that the business model of controlling distribution and wailing about "theft" is broken, and will never ever be repaired. so my personal opinion is to change the business model.
you're pushing sand uphill to try and stop people downloading stuff, so why expend resources doing it? instead, encourage them to download *even more* and extract revenue at another point in the chain. or... create a chain.
for instance, offer value-added services to complement the downloaded material. selling self-printing liner-notes online so that downloaders can "make their own CDs" is a (slightly weak) example.

view was that it was practically impossible, and certainly unreasonable, to mount a court action over every single breach.
and very few regulators attempt to do so. the two models commonly adopted by governments are:
1. only pick prosecutions you're guaranteed to win
2. igore many small infractions and occasionally *crucify* some schmo with extreme prejudice as an example to the rest.however, most agencies these days are talking 'modern regulation', which means (partly), getting the industry to set their own rules. you then monitor the rules with the occasional recourse to point two...

i think we should all just start calling people "tiger".
it could be the main marker of Brown's Syndrome.
party host: "hi che"
person with Brown's Syndrome: "hey there tiger' <kapow fingers>

Really?
yeah, but mostly i put it down to some type of unexplained connection. like maybe an unexplained propensity that can lead to ASD children.
i remember having a discussion with keith and david hayward where we couldn't work out how you're able to process information off the web as fast as you do. keith was baffled by it. i put it down to years of experience sifting noise for signal. either way, it's unusual.
another example. one of my uncles is extremely gregarious, and always has been. but my male cousin is quite far down the spectrum into 'non-social' (wouldn't look me in the eye when i met him, has lots of OCD behaviour).
in this context the only contributing factor to my cousin's autism i could imagine is my uncle's extremely high intelligence (he is far and away smarter than all my other uncles, who are mostly as bright as buttons).
so maybe there's a link science hasn't cottoned on to.
