    Punative what?

    If the RIAA can demand thousands for 15 songs why should they not have to pay on an equal scale ...... seems only appropriate!
    And as Overcast stated, what about the lies? SHould more cases be reviewed?

    PC Gaming

    I do agree that there needs to be some kind of "check" for game validity. I personally use Steam for most of my games. Theh immediate delivery of titles and the relative ease of use makes the system very convienient. It protects the industry (somewhat) from piracy, releases me from having to worry about updates and patches, and frees me from having to insert a disk each time I change games. There is also the benefit of not having to store the disks, discard the packaging, and keep up with the media. Also, changing computers means simply logging into steam, downloading the titles back to my machine, and clicking "launch". The only issue i can seem with an online "check" is while gaming either on a laptop or in a Lan party situation. I'm sure that with a minimal amount of "tweaking" the online arena will be the best model for the gaming industry. Disk checking (Safedisk, etc) is easily cracked, and we all know that once a "patch" is available on the internet the title sales are sharply reduced. Of course this negates the abilty to play online (on company hosted servers) but many more titles are avalable as single player models that provide the "pirate" with a very playable experience. This is not acceptable for the industry. Most companies provide playable demos to entice people to purchase the games. Try it, like it, buy it.

    P.S.
    As long as Nvidia and AMD are in the gaming card business there will be PC games. It's rediculous to think that PC gaming is dead.

    Ironman

    A perfect example of the MPAA blaming yet another outside source for their lack of creativness. Ironman = great movie. Ergo, people will want to go see it in the theater to get the full "effect". It's the mediocre movies that loose revenue from downloads.

    RE: I've solved it by not attending events by Haywood

    Adjusted for inflation your Pink Floyd Tickets would now only be $39.24. Seems as though venue tickets rise faster than the rest of the worlds inflations :)

    Easy fix

    Patent the software, not the concept. Write the code and send it to the patent office. They fire it up and if it works, then great! If not, "No patent for you!"
