And no, I don't mean go to a club instead of watching the DRM protected content..... text/html 2004-12-23T02:32:09-05:00 Matt Spencer http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/36349/#0 'Where's my rights as a consumer?'<br /> <br /> Was that a rhetorical question or not? <br /> FYI - Half the point of DRM is to revoke rights the courts have already granted you as a consumer in the past, as much as it is to 'protect' the company's rights. God forbid you should actually make a copy for your own use elsewhere or to protect your original investment, or watch your 'purchase' (and I use that term loosely - your EULA probably dictates you're really only leasing that content indefinitely) on an unapproved, uncertified system. <img src="http://media.hardwareanalysis.com/smilies/smile1.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=":)" title=":)"><br /> <br />
