I completely agree with you. It’s shifting but we cannot consider it as already shifted. Some comments are going into this direction of the whole debate behind us and laws not applying anymore. Our feeling about it has changed but my country can still sue me if I make a copy without respecting the terms of the seller. Maybe tomorrow a global business model will emerge and the whole notion of possession will kind of disappear because everything will be a subscription. Or maybe we will pay a flat fee to whatever organization and use anything as much as we want and copies will be worthless because they won’t be sold individually anymore
