Companies often already provide the file’s content for free on the public airwaves. But it’s not free. It’s paid for by advertising. Books and videos can be borrowed from the public libraries.

Make something illegal and you can’t control it and you sure as h**l can’t make any money off of it. Henry Ford found that out when he advocated prohibition of alcohol in the US. His taxes were up due to lost alcohol tax revenue and eventually he changed his tune.

Files should be distributed by the companies that are paid for by area and personal preference dependent advertising.

It’s either that or keep it illegal and people will find ways to get around the technical and legal road blocks.
