Copy Protection a Crime Against Humanity

Trevalyx writes "An article over at Wired looks into the relation between copy protection and the reality of a rational amount of 'wiggle room' that is typically provided by the legal system. It's a topic covered often on Slashdot, but it's still a good read. Should be accompanied by a visit to the Electronic Frontier Foundation for your Daily Dose of Defending Digital Freedom." The article does a good job of giving examples of legal leeway that's granted every day.

This is a bit of a stretch.

I am certainly not an advocate of DRM, and I don't believe the **AA has any right to cripple a product I purchased in good faith. I just don't think that using moral relativism to justify breaking laws is a strong argument. (Irrelevant of the law's intent or a law's applicability in our changing world). As a writer for a respected magazine I think it is irresponsible for the author to take this view.
