does anyone know what the situation is outside of the USA?
how come copyright holders never freaked out like this about people making copies on audio tape, everyone used to do that in the days of vinyl and car tape decks.
also the use of VCRs to record TV shows
is it just because they have at least some chance of catching people now because they're organising via [tracable] IPs?
also the emphasis seems to be on music and motion pictures, like a DVD is always going to be < $100US while macromedia studio MX is about $ 800US! what is that about? aren't more expensive files more important to protect? [i think that the software companies know that they would not have experienced users for the products without pirate versions for people to learn on]
