Digital Media Thoughts community member bluemax has written a very compelling post that I wanted to shed some light on. Here's a quote:
"The RIAA and MPAA are buying politicians in the US and Canada (and other countries). Those politicians are pushing through terrible laws, that on the surface seem innocuous, but only serve to take away my media and digital rights. Media companies are putting spyware and malware on my PC just because I want to listen to, or view their product at home. They're doing it in such a way that I don't even have an opportunity to stop it much less clean up afterwards. I don't feel I have any protection or any recourse. Do I have to go back to LP records and watching movies on TV. Remember what I said, I don't share my media except to loan the actual disk/tape."
