The way I read this article, they want the ability to enter my computer without my permission and remove any file they chose as judge, jury and executioner. How is a copyright determined on a jp3 file anyway?

That's how I read it, too. So if I own a CD, rip a song off of it onto my machine and convert it to an MP3 (which I do all the time), they can come snooping my hard drive and delete it. They have no way of knowing if I have paid for the music or not.
