So you never watch DVD's on your free Linux? Or you don't think those who cracked the encryption and posted it on the internet are doing anything wrong?

A windows user here, but no I don't think they are doing anything wrong. I have purchased a DVD, and short of distributing it to others without the proper royalties being paid I believe I should be able to do very nearly anything with it that I please, including playing the movie it contains on a computer running any OS I choose and if it takes a hack from someone to break the encryption that was put on the disc preventing me from watching my movie then so be it. The IP crusaders are driving folks away from what should be the most easily defended position IP owners getting paid when people use what they have created, instead artists and software developers, and moviemakers come off looking like OGRES. I still laugh at the, FIRE BAD FIRE BAD from the animated James Hatfield, Metallica's lead singer which to me personifies the RIAA, MPAA, and other strong backers of the current law, and this proposed law.
