—or we have to go to the issue of suing people, because there's no in between. Or we go to digital locks. The Conservative position is that we're going to take out the remuneration, but we're going to put locks on so that you can lock down your content. I think that's going to lead people to piracy.
When I drive down the highway and I get a cup of coffee and that cup of coffee stinks, I don't take it up with the rights holder, the coffee maker, like our previous witness. I leave and go to another coffee shop. I talk to young people, and when they find a product.... For example, my daughter tells me that the last CD she ever bought had a digital lock, and she couldn't back it up. She said, “Twenty-five bucks, Dad?” That's the last CD she ever bought. She went out and downloaded the entire album and felt it was her due. I've talked to many young people, and if it's not easily accessible, they will get it.
The issue is, we move to digital locks because it's the only solution, if we don't have remuneration. How do we find the balance for access and remuneration? People have to be paid. Otherwise you're going to put a lock on it to keep people from stealing it.
