They don't tire of trying to take advantage. The haves can and do take advantage of the have nots, and all they have to do is try not to get noticed. Failing doesn't even matter. Doesn't matter how many times someone gets caught with their hand in the cookie jar when there is no penalty, and all you got to do sneak in one time to make off with someone else's cookies. I don't know how you defend yourself against rule makers that have an extremely narrow, personalized, purchased view of morality and get unlimited do overs.

Thought I should bump this before it archives to remind everyone that this not only still exists, but is very close to becoming law.

Thanks for the updates. I think it's safe to say they will never stop trying until they get what they want. If there's enough money behind it, then it doesn't matter how many times you fail, you can just keep trying different methods until you succeed.https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/05/senate-reverses-course-and-advances-tpp-fast-track-bill

The only way for a boycott against the music/movie industry to work is if every human being in the world stops listening to new music and watch new movies. And I don't know where listening and watching old stuff factor in.
But even so you are overreaching a bit here. You are essentially demanding the utter destruction of 2 whole economies for the preservation of 1.

Not true. Not all music and movies has to come from the lamestream music/movie industry. The only way for a boycott against the music/movie industry to work is if every human being in the world stops listening to new music and watch new movies. And I don't know where listening and watching old stuff factor in.
-There's plenty of good music in video games (IMO the vast majority of video game music is far better than any of the Flop 40's/S*** music, oops, Top 40's/Hit Music). A lot of video games these days include their soundtrack as bonus content bundled with a digital purchase.
-There are plenty of independent "indie" musicians unaffiliated with the big recording industry.
-Who needs movies when video games are so much better? The visual quality of video games these days is definitely good enough that it's hard to tell the difference between a premium game cinematic and a movie.
-I predict that the movie industry in its current form is on its way out, because computer technology will get good enough that people could make movies using video game engines.
tl;dr; The lamestream music and movie industries are dinosaurs looking to eat up the Internet as one last futile push to remain relevant.
I would like to respectfully disagree. The lamestream music/movie industry has a record spanning decades of persecuting and hunting down the free Internet almost unprovoked. Each time there's a showdown regarding the already dysfunctional copyright law in the U.S., the Internet freedom advocates only go on the defensive. If the Internet freedom advocates win, nothing happens. If the lamestream music/movie megacorps win, we all lose some freedom. Over time, if both sides win some and lose some, China will have more Internet freedom than the U.S.
Think of it this way: Suppose you lived in a peaceful, neutral, and prosperous country that never provoked a war with anyone. One day, another nation hell-bent on conquest invades your country with the intention of taking its entire population away in shackles, repurposing them, and finally harvesting them.
Of course your country isn't just going to take this without a fight. Every invasion is met with a defensive war that costs both sides many resources. But here's the problem: Your country's peace culture forbids them from waging any form of offensive war. Every fight leaves your country progressively more damaged. Every battle makes some of the habitable land uninhabitable. And if it continues, there's going to be nothing left.
Then one day you stumble across the means to teleport the invading nation's land into deep space, putting an end to their conquest and oppression. Are you saying that even given that option, you would prefer instead to be taken away, repurposed, and harvested?
Elmofongo: You are essentially demanding the utter destruction of 2 whole economies for the preservation of 1.
"Preservation of 1"? I beg to differ. -The amount of economic activity the free Internet generates is vastly greater than whatever the lamestream movie/music industry ever will.
-The free Internet greatly contributes to research, transfer of information/knowledge, education, and civilization's advancement. The movie/music industries contribute almost nothing to those purposes
-There's more than 1 Internet industry. Just to name a few, you have: Online video games/digital distribution (GOG included!), database, Internet hardware (routers/switches/Ethernet cables/Wi-Fi adapters/cellular data networks), Internet service providers, databases, cloud apps, online shopping (Amazon, Newegg, etc), "Internet Of Things" (Internet-enabled household appliances), social networks, digital communications. (and this is by no means a comprehensive or complete list).
"Utter destruction of 2 whole economies"? Again, I beg to differ. You would still have independent artists and video game artists.
