I can redownload a book from Baen or use a CD I made, your 10 year old book is out of print. No method is perfect, but I can have redundancies.
What about Scott Kurtz of PvP, folks signed up for a minimum of 5 months for access to his private thoughts and feelings, and they got for their money like 4 posts about how he was too busy to make a good post. It's like a for pay live journal. "Oh woe is me to have to live in the hell of Eiderdown Court in a clean subdivision...."
I'm going to reserve judgment on this until I see where Lily Allen weighs in on this issue. I am sure she will have totally new and well reasoned view on this.
Haven't had a TV in about two years due to the same issues listed here. Too many crapomercials, too many ads, niche channels, too much money.
Some folks at the office freak out when I say I don't have a TV, then they ask me how I know about all the stuff we talk about with current shows and such.
Personally online books (not Kindle book rental thank you very much.), google news, webcomics, MMORPG's, Hulu, and the occasional DVD are all I need.
Hulu has shown me that I can stand commercials much better when they have a count down timer.
So all they need to do is compile a text format of all the phone books in the United States, filter out duplicates and present it as the limiting list. There's a flying Squirrel here who has a comment on this method of 'protection.' H doesn't seem very hopeful....
Hmph, Google should have left them off till PRS paid them! Heck I would have dropped the songs from google searches too. Let them sell while invisible.

You mean they would ask why their advertising did not work on these people. It's not like Hollywood cares about content, except as a legal concept.
