Ever since the beginning of the nineties, and the end of the cold war, the government has started to become influenced by economic status of the nation. No longer is it as important to compete with nations in arms races. Now we are in a new race - an economic race within the world economy.
There is a lot of pressure on our governing body to pass laws in favor of promoting a healthy economy. The people are happy as long as they have their HDTVs and SUVs. We are content to be comfortable. How does this relate to the topic at hand? Well, with the colapse of the so called "dot-com" indutries, we've seen an entire sector of the market drop in value by more than 50%. Part of that market lies in the area indicated - Digital Media. Outside of the previously existing mediums, these companies are strugling to find a way to show some earnings.
Of course, once again, there's pressure on the government to do something about it. So, what do they do? Pass stricter laws protecting Copywrighted material to ensure these companies are making the money they should and, in turn, are staying in business.
