I was specifically referring to the thread around here about France piracy crack-downs. Many people download pirate versions as a form of format-shifting (how many people on MR have openly admitted to downloading Harry Potter because they own the book, as opposed to sending the books to a chop shop?).
Also, DVD companies have (iirc) gone after format-shifting
tools on the grounds that those tools break DRM in order to work. I would also consider that in the same category as my statement.
