Obviously the bill of rights or whatever it is doesn't mean shit to corporate America, and lets face it they are they people who essentially run America. If profit was being hindered by something like that they would work to get rid of it, something like what they seem to be doing now.

I think if this does continue it will become a tug of war between the movie producing companies of Hollywood and the Music Industry, against the whole electronics production industry, the retailers and workers unions (if they exist), since these three will be the people who will lose out monetarily. I think the government would also lose out on tax revenue more in lost sales of these electronic goods than they would gain by preventing the spread of movies and music through the net. Oh yea, then throw in the ISP's as well, since they would lose customers, atleast for their faster broadband services.

In the end, I don't think the movie/music industry is strong enough to go against all these people, as well as consumer discontent. They might be able to do it by bribing officials involved in the process.
