I want big corporations to abide to the law. To pirate is a patch that does not solve the problem. Let's fix that corporations do whatever they want with your digital property.
I want to buy digital movies, games, music, ... without being at the mercy of some algorithm that can automatically steal what is mine.
It's not your digital property. Look eg. at Netflix ToS, you're just buying a temporary membership in some club that will allow you access to some content, on their terms. That's not what ownership looks like.
I suspect it will be similar with all other consumer oriented content distribution services.
And so it should be considered an open-and-shut case of false advertising. The small print may not take away what is given by the large print. If the large print says "Buy Now", then the small print may not replace buying with licensing.
Yeah but if people keep pirating the corporations will groan and lobby for the sensible legislation for us. They will eventually figure out that they have no control and will ask for laws that grant rights to consumers that benefit them as well (people actually trusting them again). I think that's a good patch. We just need to incentivize them to do the right thing.
