By Nate Anderson | Published about an hour ago
Pity the poor people who work in the US "copyright industries." Battered by a decade of digital piracy and facing even more of it thanks to cheap computers, fast Internet, P2P file-sharing, and online file lockers, the US creative industries teeter on the verge of collapse. You can tell because the industry:

- Pays better than most American jobs
Has outperformed the US economy through a horrific recession
Sells record-setting amounts of product overseas, earning more foreign revenue than the entire US food sector or US pharmaceutical companies
Bad never looked so good
...
OH NOES!!! The US Copyright Industries are going "bankrupt"
