personally: that alone IS a placebo. the remainder of completing the "ritual" or "study" is them proving to themselves that they WANT to get better.
1. It is now much harder for musicians to land recording contracts.
to some degree. at the same time, it's now MUCH easier to self promote. it means more work: but that's life.
2. Not respecting the license is a bad thing
if enough people disagree with the license, and refuse to honor it, maybe it should be changed? rather than trying to sue everyone viloating it and ENSURING that you lose customers in the future, maybe we should start thinking about changing the agreement?
there was a day that slave agreements were handed out to the masses, they had no choice but to accept them, and they did not agree/broke the agreement as often as they could.
3. Distorts supply and demand and free market economy
I REALLY hope you're kidding. Markets collapse. that's life. there's NOTHING Illegal about that, nor should there be.
Just because something somebody decided to make a living in stops being profitable, it's not up to the law to fix that.
Start a business, go give people BETTER software/music, BETTER licenses, BETTER terms, and take a segment of the people that are file-sharing and come up with a way to enhance that experience for a price.
When they start killing/physically harming/blackmailing/raping people, THEN get the law involved.
until then, try new business practices, or get into a different market. there's nobody holding a gun to your head and stopping you.
