Nothing comes without risk. As far as the internet revolution. Content creators are not 100% safe but "safer" in my opinion.
People thought VHS would kill TV, or the cassette would kill radio, then CD/DVD and now the internet. Yet content creators such as Disney are still around.
Content creators and providers need to embrace new technologies like the internet instead of trying to fight it with legal battles. Why do people download? On of the reasons is to view the program at their leisure. Viewers want to watch programs on demand rather than having a time set by free to air TV.
Solution, on demand streaming free to air internet TV with commercials. Youtube does it with free content, why can't free to air TV stations do it with purchased content. Premium content could be streamed for a fee.
BYI with it's internet based purchases may be trying to do just that.
