Wouldn't it be funny if cabbages were a woman? LOL. Second, Amazon, B&N and Sony can modify their readers to look for copyrighted material with missing DRM. The reader can then send back this information either through the 3G network or through the PC/Mac interface. Third, the companies can brick the readers, as Microsoft has done with the Xbox 360 game console. Imagine sending back your reader, having the FBI unlock it, and then being charged with copyright violation- prima facie evidence, if ever there was such a thing. So beware, Darknet followers. Big brother is watching you. Read the Amazon terms and conditions. The path is there for the government to compel them to spy on you.

Wow-- start with projective, sweeping generalizations and end with a giddy appeal for Orwellian government and business control over everyone's lives.
I couldn't possibly describe you without Godwining this thread.
Any government that treats it's citizens like that would be in dire need of being disbanded at the barrel of a gun and retired at the end of ropes.
BTW, you are completely clueless as to how and when DVDs became decryptable.
