A great example of how digital content is not the same as physical content, and why digital content is "licensed" not "owned".

I completely concur with your desired use -- just as I concur with those who want to be able to copy their dvd's to a computer or media device -- or who want to be able to read an ebook on their device of choice which may change over time.

It's so easy to disagree with the current state of DRM - but it's at least worth considering the legitimate reasons for DRM.

There is no free lunch. It's like the practice of recording shows on a DVR and then skipping through the commercials. This practice (I do it myself) is going to end free ad supported Tv. Just wait and see.
