the records industry wants to do is to get a form of MP3 which you can't copy and then you have to pay each time you listen to it.

Hmm, replace a few words in that like music with movies, and you have Divx. Disney was hellbent on saying they were moving from VHS to Divx only, and look what happened there. The industry spent a ton of money on it, and consumers beat it up bad enough to have it completly withdrawn from the market.

My copy protection reverse boycott was thought up for the exact same reason. Give them a sign we don't want it, and hurt their pocketbooks so they won't just keep trying it.
