Maybe it's because I am a history geek. Maybe I've had too many American history classes. But giving up my right to own property and to have rights associated with that cannot be removed just by calling everything a "license".
Pretending everything is just a limited "license" and restricting our right to use our property is a key part of how they keep getting away with DRM.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Karma inbound. I find it very disturbing how many people misunderstand something so simple.
