As attention shifts to focusing on the impact of digital downloads of movies and TV, comparable to the dramatic shift in the music industry, how is the industry reacting?

Canadian Industry Minister Jim Prentice recently introduced new federal copyright legislation in the House of Commons, stating, "With this bill, we have introduced important measures to support industries whose success depends on copyright -- software companies and filmmakers, for example. We are providing stronger protection of digital locks online so that companies that choose to use them in their business models will have the support of the law. We have also introduced stronger provisions to address Internet piracy."
Leading expert on IT spending, purchases, budgeting trends, and tech sector economics, Andy Bartels at Forrester, recently noted, "Many products, such as security software, are viewed as essential by corporate tech buyers."
