Let's address several issues but first allow me to say that I do not agree with the need for these measures.

Having said that, how often do you play DVD movies that you own on other peoples machines? I never do. Actually, I download several HD movies every day using Vuze for free. We watch them and throw them away.

How often do you play video games on other peoples game consoles? I never do. I play both DVD movies and games here at home and often invite friends to join me. No problem.

Music, well, I have 12,000+ songs in my iTunes file and actually have all the music I'll ever want. It's taken some time to collect it but I rarely download music now since I have everything I like right here.

Lastly, there is a certain right that artists have to profit from their work. It is their work. Taking that right away from them isn't fair either. The industry is searching for fairness and for a method to insure artists profit from their work. Right now there is a vast amount of both music, video and game software that is pirated. That isn't right, as you probably know.

What would be your alternative? I don't have a viable one, do you?

I don't agree with this. Why? What if this comes into effect? What if I want to play one of my favorite CD's, DVD's or the Blu Ray in my car to play an album, but the problem is that I have to have another and another and another disc for each thing I want to play. That would be over $50 worth of copies and copies of CD's, DVD"s and Blu Ray discs. This type of scheme is like Microshaft's Windows operating system. One disc per device deal. Also wake up and get this, these new serial encrypted discs require latest upgrade on equipment (more money out of pocket) just to be connected to the internet monitored by the gov't and hollywood your current equipment is not going to work on these new discs it maybe required by law to replace equipment or upgrade. Some discs if this comes in effect will have limitations on how many times you can play the album for like a month depending how much you like the music so much. The good thing is this, this article was published in 2006, that was 4 years ago, so I have not heard anything, but it may come into effect if we do not wake up the masses of this movement. Just something to remind you to be ready. Media Mind Control!

Compact discs ,at their introduction in the late '80's were marketed as an undamagable , permanent media with non degrading sound quality. I rmember the guy in the stereo dept. trying to sell home component CD players before much of the RECORDING industry had switched to the new revolutionary format. He said that these discs will last forever, they would be unaffected by scratches, and could withstand intense heat and uv exposure . So when I finally got a CD player, I didn't mind paying double to triple times the cost of My prescious,obsolete Vinyl. Well , guess what? None of those claims were true. every cd i ever bought in the early days has been either damaged or stolen.and furthermore, the shelf life of a brand new packaged cd is less than 20years .but, I still own EVERY vinyl recording i ever bought,EVER.Now, why the fuck did i ever buy cd's at $20.00ea.? 100's of discs gone to waste.Over $2,000 given to the "RECORDING" industry, with the artists i thought i was supporting only netting about $0.06 per sale. The recording industry deserves every loss of market share that the digital age has taken away. Artists can easily produce their own recordings,and can attain viral fame from internet networking and promotion. they obtain Fans worldwide that will pay the cover charge at their shows and possibly buy some merch, like a t-shirt that the artist can net $10 from a $15 sale.It's not the "music" industry thats being hurt its the greedy,mostly zionist-owned Recording firms that have exploited musicians and their fans . The career of being a musician has experienced a renessiance and now a travelling trubadour can make an honest buck for an honest day's work.as far as movies and dvd's, fuck them . it's all NWO mind-control and psycho-propaganda that only demoralizes society and now people will just maybe wake up and realize that they can live without their DVD's and hollywood (again,mostly zionist) garbage that most movies really are. I say, who cares?

There is absolutely nothing they can do about infringement except cry and i hope they do. Come on multimillionaires missing out on a few thousand copies i'm beside myself =)
