Take a long-standing business (model) add an overdue, way past their prime expiration date… mix liberally with ‘histories greatest miss’ in going after Napster within the Recording Industry itself (sans the ‘visionary’ who decided not to sign The Beatles)… versus embracing this revolutionary idea… couple this with ample amounts of lobbying in Washington, DC and an inept ‘regulatory’ FCC…
The result is the newest idea (by the powers that be and their respective brain-trust; or lack thereof).
To highlight:
1) Losing ‘net access
2) The loss of time / the cost of responding
3) Wi-Fi hijacking / hi-jinx
4) Challenges with Fair Use Claims
And; in case you are wondering what the actual regulation being put forth is: a 6-strike plan whereas any given business can have their (US / EU) Internet access essentially cut-off if they’re deemed to be in violation of illegal file-sharing / downloading of copy-righted content (as per the latest vision of entertainment conglomerates)… brilliant…
