  1. They will never get it... by D-Cypell · · Score: 0, Redundant
    • You can put protections on CDs...
    • You can threaten P2P client development companies with legal action...
    • You can pass laws allowing intrusion into PC's and removal of copyrighted material
    But it is simple as this... If something exists in digital form, it will be cracked and copied across the internet... there is NO way to prevent it (and copyright holders and software companies have been trying for many many years). All you can do is find a new business model to make money from music and other digital media without relying directly on records sales.... so stop whining and get on with it!!
