I think this is wishful thinking.<p>At this point, I believe that governments will use their surveillance systems to enforce copyright strictly.<p>Enforcment serves two goals:<p>1. Business. If you've got a monopoly, you can ask, and get, monopoly prices. You also don't have to innovate. This means that lots of money will be behind strict enforcement.<p>2. Enforces the status quo. If you can watch everybody's communications, you can sort out the disaffected, and the radical readily.<p>The families and companies in power, stay in power. Dissent gets called "infringement" or "theft" and just disappears, with a legal and technical framework to support it. You don't have to jail dissidents, you just use a DMCA takedown on their works.<p>Corporations in power get to block any new tech that might disrupt their oligopolies/monopolies.<p>It fits all, government, the rich, corporations! What could be better?
