"DRM is a lie. When an agenda driven DRM infection peddler gets on a soapbox and blathers about how it is necessary to protect the BMW payments of a producer who leeches off the talented, rest assured, they are lying to you. DRM has absolutely nothing to do with protecting content, it is about protecting the wallets of major corporations. The funny thing is they aren't protecting it from you, they are protecting it from each other."

Making laws is a fine balancing act, you don't want to make completly outrageous and unenforcable laws. For example the current penalties for copyright infrignement with things such as music .etc. This form of copyright infringement is a modern problem and requires modern solutions. IMO the best solution is simple FAIR laws, enforced by a trully accountable public authority (i.e. the police). Simply destroying our rights to freely use the media we buy, doesn't solve the problem, it just makes copyright enforcement seem even more extreme and drives more users to flaunt it.
