The only thing you could say to ban p2p networks and in defense of video recordes is that the scale at which p2p networks are exchanging music and thus screwing up artists is a lot (well a really awful lot) than the loss of money on films. And of course everything copied with VCR just isn't as good quality as the original ones. I've yet to hear the first film maker/company complein about VCRs whereas a lot of bands do have trouble with copied music and p2p networks.
There are like countless of possibilities to make p2p networks not needed anymore, cause some people seem to like false arguments as sales getting higher because of it. All those options have the disadvantage (in many peoples opinion) that people need to pay for what they listen.
And well if the technology shouldn't be attacked becasue of what it's used for most of the time, it's time to change the technology so that this doesn't happen anymore.
I wouldn't mind having p2p-networks away but banning the VCR at the same time is just overdoing it.
