I feel that both the RIAA and MPAA are slightly to blame. They used the same media that PC's use. If you make it inaccessible to a PC, then you don't have to worry about copyrights. Remember that whopping laser disc? I realize that CDROM's and DVD's are easier to manage, but shouldn't those respective organizations started to research and develop their own media and methods for transmitting them to a player? I realize that any audio/video output would be available to PC's, but can the pure digital content be reproduced without any significant loss? When LP's (remember those too?) and tape cassette's were around, did they care as much as they do now?
