An pretty interesting read over at News.com with Mark Cuban, my favorite quote of the article: “Entertainment companies just feel that because P2P impacts their business in a way they can’t control, it’s better to make it illegal than adapt to the new technology.”
He goes on: “By itself, the DMCA didn’t kill technological innovation. At the time it passed, the DMCA was more a nuisance than anything else. Digital content wasn’t all that prevalent, and there certainly wasn’t much money in it. Not many people cared that our tax dollars were being spent to make sure that your Internet radio station never played more than three songs in a row from the same artist. Or that it became illegal to have a 24-hours-a-day station dedicated to the Beatles (or any other artist).”
If you have time, this article is worth the read, that is if you like Mark Cuban.:)
