But they'll definitely think 30 times before increasing charges on businesses with regard to the bandwidth used by people downloading from those business sites. There's always one rule for consumers and one rule for producers.
Bandwidth charging won't kill off piracy... sure the torrent downloaders will find their cushy little paradise disappearing, but the ordinary everyday moderate use of "tubes" and other websites for watching stuff that isn't yours... will persist, in fact it will just get stronger. Plus my theory is that half the broadcasters out there WON'T challenge the situation in the courts even if they do make a bit of a fuss... I think their sales probably benefit from piracy (most of them would be arrogant to think we'd waste money on that rubbish most of the time, and the few times we actually decide to buy a dvd it's because we saw some pirated version of something which made us laugh like mad).
