WOW!

That is sad. I'm not really for the federal government or state government becoming the enforcement arm of the RIAA, or working for Microsoft, but geez, I don't have a problem with either the RIAA or Microsoft putting out products that they think are copy-proof. I don't think copyrights should be extended for the lengths they have been, and I don't think software should be copyrighted but should be patented instead. However, saying you CAN'T make pirate-proof (nominally, anyway) stuff is simply crazy leftist.

It's amazing that these 'conservative' folks insulted you for such a fundamental property right as protecting the property you own. If a landlord puts a clause in a lease saying he has the right to inspect his property on a regular basis, you have the right to not buy it. If you want the property enough, you'll put up with the accompanying b.s. If not, you won't, you'll go elsewhere. That's capitalism.
