Don't you just love it. A conservative site such as FreeRepublic is just loaded with people whining about profit, a company, music and video industry protecting their work and property.Perhaps if there wasn't so many theives out there, DRM wouldn't be such an issue. But at least I haven't seen the word entitlement yet. Although I did once see here on FR a Freeper felt he was entitled to download an album he purchased 20 yrs ago and it was now gone.
It's now February 02,2007 and Bill Gates hasn't forced me to spend a penny yet.

I have no problem whatsoever with any company or person making a profit from their intellectual property, and I am also happy to pay a fair price for it myself. The problem comes from DRM gutting the term "fair use". How many times do you think you should have to pay for a song? Do you believe that you should license a song per device, paying for it each time you listen to it on your computer, mp3 player, or a CD in your car? People looking to gut DRM schemes doesn't necessarily equate to theft. It is increasingly becoming adopted by people simply wanting to use what they have already paid for.

For someone with freedom in your name e you're quick to forget the freedoms of fair use. Of backing up your media should you choose to do so. The freedom to watch your legally purchased media on any number of legally purchased devices you choose to.

Instead you are defending Hollywood lobbyist who are ramming legislation down our throats which strip these rights away from us.
