Entertainment Copyrights & the Digital Age

Copyright Laws !!! Who cares !!!

Why waste money buying CDs & DVDs..
Everything's available for free in the internet..

This is the slogan of the hour..

Computers and the Internet have revolutionized how we share. Songs can be reduced to small files and portable storage devices can hold thousands of them. Video is rapidly joining audio in compact portability.

Somehow the entertainment industry has fallen behind. They continue to attempt to enforce outdated copyright laws which where written and designed before current technology was even conceived.

Lets face it, the harder they try to control how things are shared online, the harder someone will work to subvert the system and do it anyways. Bollywood and the music industry should spend more time and money trying to conceive of a new business model that embraces the new capabilities of Internet technology. Instead they keep fighting a losing battle to preserve the current.

It just boggles my mind.
