It would be naive to expect a person of the calibre of Mr. Murdoch to do anything for altruistic reasons, of course he's protecting his pocket and extending his power base.

But if in the pursuit of his aims, he also improves the protection of copyright material, as I wrote previously, those who create intellectual property will rejoice.

It is a peculiarly perverse response to blame the copyright owner for thieves not honouring his terms of use.

Much like a thief declaring in mitigation; "Well if you don't want me to steal your car don't, own a car."

We put our IP on the internet with access subject to our chosen Terms, is it too much to expect users to honour them?
