re: Just Forget about it

".......thats how you deal with file sharing you ignronat fools."

Actually, that statement seems kind of ignornat in itself.

The inclusive way to deal with media piracy is to log the downloads (annonymously) at the ISP and license the ISP service so your increased connection fee will cover any roayalties(just like for the BBC). I am convinced this will happen eventually in the UK/EU.

All that say DRM is eventually circumventable are correct so legeslation to pay royalties through the ISP is the only way for the 'Fat Cats' and Artists to achieve any sort of renumeration for so called 'lost sales'. ISPs will hate this legislation but will eventually work a profit into it also.

There are also 'embedded advertising' schemes such as a recent one that Peter Gabrial is endorsing to make audio downloading free. Games developers are now also embedding advertising into game content, but for now it is purely to make more revenue for themselves!

I have no Idea how anyone is ever going to tackle application piracy without containing 'phone home' elements which can often be counter productive (not to mention closure threatening) for for small companies when connections are lost/down.
