In many states, it's not illegal for a minor to smoke, but it's illegal for
them to buy cigarettes. Anyway...

The point is, there is a huge battleground right now, between consumers and
media companies.

You mean criminals and media companies.

No, consumers and media companies. Consumers who,
according to our courts, have the rights to time shift and
space shift their digital media. The DMCA has failed more
legal challenges than it has passed, and it will eventually fail
in the 321 case, too. It's going down in flames faster than
anyone imagined it ever could.

The DMCA is ground zero for the battle at the moment, and
while a DVD consumer such as yourself may or may not be particularly
interested in taking a side, I would advise that if you do take a side, it
be against the DMCA.

Of course you would, like a good little criminal. True consumers
couldn't care less about this **** and go along their merry way not
worrying for one second that they have no rights to copy their DVD's
for "protection."

Librarians, researchers and millions of other Americans have
legitimate needs to do things the DMCA claim are illegal.
They should all be thrown in jail, eh Adolf?

Don't hold your breath. Actually, on second thought..
