Link: NBC: Peer-to-peer costs corn farmers money.
"In the absence of movie piracy, video retailers would sell and rent more titles," says the filing. "Movie theaters would sell more tickets and popcorn. Corn growers would earn greater profits and buy more farm equipment."

The producers of content don't like the TV network system but can't quite see the way across the divide into my digital world. Some musical artists, like Prince, are figuring it out, but they're isolated examples. Trust me, however, when I tell you that TV and movie people will figure it out too. These are not stupid people. And they are not un-greedy. Which means their desire for more money and more control and more freedom will lead them to apply their energy into figuring out how to get out of the plantation the TV networks have created for them. They will break free. Mark my words.
