"Hollywood argues . or at least strongly implies . that technology
companies could stop copyright infringement if they wanted to, but have
chosen not to do so. I have often wondered whether Hollywood really
believes this, or whether the claim is just a ploy to gain political
advantage.
...
This is a chance for Hollywood to learn what the rest of us already
know. that cheap and easy copying is an unavoidable side-effect of the
digital revolution. "
