what's online: frustrating the pirates
anders bylund of ars technica writes about how big media can combat piracy by offering better versions of what piracy offers:
Media piracy will always be with us. But the pirates, Mr. Bylund writes, “can be beaten - it happens all the time - but not primarily by means of legal threats and lawsuits.” Rather, he says: “You subjugate these rebels with the tools of free enterprise. Piracy is just another business model, and the pirates will lose and go away when you come up with a better model.”
