In such countries it would be rather necessary to make a strident effort to involve the younger generations and those well versed with technology in such development and debate about public policy; aside from whichever governments and/or enterprises that my have significant power/voice.

The younger generations and those who are or are willing to become proficient in the knowledge and use of advancing technologies would naturally be viewed as the common enemies/assailants to those involved in the music industry, the internet intermediaries, and those developing such faulty IP protection and retribution law.

In our given predicament we have the two enemies pitted against one another; as well as ODR and potentially other forms of ADR as the potential “enemies of my enemies”. Along such logic ODR could be seen as the enemy to the downloaders/young generation etc. as it could potentially re-tighten the law and music industry’s grasp on copyrighted material, or the polar opposite for music industry and law [what it currently seems to be].

Alternatively the commonly uttered maxim would suggest that at the same time a shared open forum [at least for developing the “people’s”/downloaders goals and grievances] and use of ODR could instead serve as the tool to carve out a proper legal niche for the distribution and enjoyment of music to exist efficiently and legally.
