When you apply the same "underdog argument" to the issue of DRM, for example, you see technology and software companies falling over each other to satisfy the content industry, despite the content industry being orders of magnitude smaller than the technology and software industries. Why is it that you suppose companies like Microsoft or Intel or Samsung or whoever are willing to accede to the RIAA/MPAA's demands, despite being much larger companies in a much, much larger industry?

James, the latest rhetoric from the ISPs is that Google and Microsoft want to stick the public with practically all of the costs. Neither side is innocent here. In fact, I can't see why anyone is particularly sympathetic to either side.
