I agree with Joey
I buy on average 2 CDs, and 2 DVDs a month.
This month that was a total spend of about £50
£19.99 for Lord of the rings DVD
£9.99 for Along came a spider DVD
£13.99 for Creed's new album on CD (I bought this album because I heard "my sacrifice" on internet radio and liked it.
£9.99 Who's last CD I bought this one because I'd hoicked some of the tracks off of P2P
Next month I will be spending my entertainment budget rather differently, rather than going to the cinema / buying a CD or DVD, I will write to some of the media distributers with a "I would have bought your title X, but you've annoyed me" letter. and outlining which titles I didn't buy from them, and how much money they took from their own market.
I also check that all music / films I buy will play on my PC, and if they don't, guess what.. they go back to the shop where the shop is told that it is "unfit for purpose"
the 70M people who use P2P networks need to take a few moments to write to their representative (MP, Congressman, or whatever) and tell them that if they continue the way they are going they are getting a solid "NO" vote at the next election.
Also on top of this, I will be actively donating time, and money in the fight against David Blunkett at the next election as my way of telling him he's an arsehole.
I feel it's getting too late for technical fixes we need to start using our Votes, and our purchasing power.
That's what i'm doing ... the ball's in our court.
