The Music and Film industry have been complaining they lose money because of analog recording devices for as long as I live (have grey hair...). Because of their powerfull lobby a lot of countries nowadays have taxes on blank (audio/video)cassettes to protect the copyright holders interest. The world being as it is a lot more countries do not and will never get it. So it's quite obvious to me from the industie's point of view new technologies should be used to prevent them from losing money. Of cause as a consumer I do not fully agree.
