There's only one way to stop the studios and labels from making bills that restrict the Internet, and that is to convince them to adopt a modern digital strategy and embrace the qualities of the Internet, rather than keep fighting them.

I would also like to see more articles that debunk their claims of hundreds of billions of dollars lost every year due to piracy, because too many politicians believe them - even those that are against SOPA/PIPA. If politicians find out the real truth, and MPAA/RIAA lose credibility on piracy losses, they might actually have to start thinking about modernizing their digital strategy.

Indeed they THEMSELVES should work to create an global Internet license that allows any web admin the right to sell/stream/distribute their content. If site admins don't pay up based on such licensing terms then a legislative bill should be drafted up for those who don't pay up.
