I wonder if the people who actually created the work care that after five decades they may not be able to make a miniscule amount of income from it - personally, I would be fairly embarrassed if I made one 'great work' and then ended up desperately lobbying governments to protect my one meagre source of income, instead of continuing my artistic development and releasing new material that consumers value enough to buy (while getting a kick out of the fact that someone's rewritten a story that I wrote decades ago, and is now making their own name).

I, for one, welcome our new aquatic overlords.

Wait, hold on - BT were short-sighted enough to bypass laying down a high-bandwidth system through the UK while there was time, and now people are raping their servers because of their own short-sightedness, they want someone ELSE to pay for the mistake?

Second suggestion for Wikileaks - it's pretty much what it's made for.

I'm not sure that's correct - EVE Online has let players buy in-game money with real-world money (through buying and selling game time cards) for years, and the economy there is pretty stable - definitely no massive inflation.
