Yep. That's very creative, and yet so accurate. I say we need more independent music and videos distributed over the internet. Sooner or later, profits may drop enough that all of the media *AAs will go away. Not likely, but a nice thought.

That would be fascist. At what point does a corporation or conglomerate or administration designed to protect the copyrights have over the individuals rights to privacy. Surely checking players and media for valid formats and such has to be at some level a violation of our rights...

That's what I thought ... another reason not to use anything requiring a EULA that gives away your rights ... (Instead use Linux and BSD).
