This is probable an inappropriate forum for my little rant, but the discussion of Michel(l)e's possible illegal activity makes me want to firebomb someone's corporate headquarters. The whole DMCA and Digital Rights Management issue reminds me of a friend's reaction to his last purchased DVD. It had a little trailer that was pretty much an add exhorting people to not steal the product. The product he had just bought. Or was it on a DVD he got from Netflix? Why do so many companies assume that their customers are criminals?! I nearly *want* to make as many copies of something when I read, or hear, see something that reminds me not to break the law! Why do we have Blockbuster Video, Netlix,and the public library system if DMCA, RIAA, and every other ridiculous acronym keep trying to stop people from using their products?! I'm sorry, I really should just hit the cancel button, but after searching this site and trying to decide if I should buy this amazing SONY device, I'm going to save my money, and head to my local library
