Historically this kind of nonsense doesn't stop until the people producing
the product they want over-protected understand that the buying public is
pissed.
If you want to stop this, start organizing a boycott of the music and video
industries. Make it loud, newspapers, tv news, etc. Telling senators there
full of it usually doesn't work -- they lost touch with reality sometime
during their second term. Get the population to not buy a cassette, CD, or
DVD for a month and it will stop.
Kill Blockbuster sales for even a week and you'll have their support. Tell
the bands and the movie stars that not only are you not going to their
performances or buying their CD's, you're not even going to steal them, and
you'll suddenly have their support as well.
This issue isn't about protection, it's about profit. Attack the profit.
