The UK is actually doing something about it. Australian legislators are considering something similar.

UK's Google Tax

Just a question for those who want to talk about legalities: If the Australian Government legislated to allow removal of DRM, and to abolish copyright, would you be fine with that? After all, it would then be perfectly legal in Australia to make as many copies of things as you like and freely distribute them. Legal is not the same as ethical. We put a lot of stock in the concept of fairness in Australia.
