Maybe it's time these industries (music, media, entertainment, etc) look into why people are driven to piracy?
Many of us do so because we:
1) like music so much we can't afford to pay for all the albums we want
2) find it despicable that artists get so little from the sales of their music and would rather steal the album and then actually give them money via merch and going to their shows
3) don't want to waste their money on films that leave them empty and disappointed on the inside when they leave the theater
4) hate the fact that you get bombarded with commercials every 5 minutes when you're trying to figure out what the hell Lost is really about
5) hate corporate suits and want to stick it to the man anyway possible
What about an Arduino-style platform where you have a standard base, and based on what you want you can add on components (such as a range finder or a GPS receiver or beyond-visible-light spectrum sensors or time-dilation modules or flux capacitors)?
