If mainstream content owners, European Parliament, and other policy makers would only invest more time in listening to, understanding, and addressing content pirates’ and digital media consumers’ points of view, then perhaps they will succeed in reducing the risk of a 1.2m job lose crisis apparently facing the Media industry in the near future. And in doing so, I believe that they will need to loosen their planned grip on the internet and P2P file-sharing services, reduce their content’s digital format pricing points, and liberate their content from restrictive DRM constraints. Only then will a money-making digital distribution ecosystem flourish with numerous legal options for consumers to get their content from. And only then will we be able to beat content piracy.
