How's this idea?
WMD:
This article is proof that DRM is about control, not protection. Now I'd like to hear Jimmy James speak about this one

CONTROL KICKS ASS
Protection is about control. Imagine that. By having some level of control in there, you protect your interests.
WOW, WHAT A CONCEPT
I don't like the RIAA, I think their bullshit is just that, bullshit. They're on a campaign of propaganda, which is just now starting to grow thin on the public and in Washington. Many legislators are coming to hate the DMCA, and gods know the Supreme Court has.
The DMCA is heading for some changes.
But, I can, in fact, say with some certainty that the RIAA has the *right intentions*. They *perceive a threat* to their business. And what does business exist for?
We'll go to our studio audience for the answer.
"Yeah, Jimmy. My name is Bob, and I'm from Kenosha, WI. Would 'profit' be the correct answer?"
YES IT WOULD BOB FROM KENOSHA!
The RIAA though, is unlike most business, completely over the line in their pursuit of said profits. It's the RIAA and similar "new capitalists" who give business a bad name.
They see business as the end, not a means.
Please note that all that I have said is the truth.

I don't see what your objection to the RIAA is. How have they gone over the line, in your opinion?

Aren't they just protecting their interests? If you think illegally downloaders are wrong, then why do you object to their being sued?
