Re:The economics of attention (Score 1)

Nobody will respect copyright? I understand that you mean that if digital devices allow a crime to be committed anonmously then a crime will be committed. The bigger problem is that a lot of DRM commits crimes against fair use and free speech. Also that DRM is often a criminal violation of privacy. Not all DRM is evil. But the debate on DRM is focused on eliminating DRM that is "evil". Consumers are going to choose items that allow fair use and free speech. The whole economy doesn't collapse without DRM - it only collapses for some. As a consumer, I'd rather have the economy collapse for Sony than loose free speech through digital mediums.
