U.K. Group Wants DRM'd Media Labeled

peterfa writes "The BBC reports that the U.K. 'All Party Parliamentary Internet Group' wants companies to label their DRMed products. Consumers will see a label on the product before they buy. The label will spell out clearly just how easy it is to copy media, and what they can and cannot do. This is in response to Sony BMG and their virus-like DRM. The group claims the industry is turning media into a rent system, rather than a purchase system."

Are you mad?

I mean, come on!

What kind of fascist do you have to be to require certain media to bear some labels just because you don't like them?

Media want to be free, not interned by arbitrary labels just because you don't like their licences.

If they're labeled like that, no-one would ever buy them... I mean, would you talk to a Jew if all the Jews had to wear a yellow star? Would you be seen with a gay friend if he were forced to wear a pink triangle?

Your Nazi ideas will be the death of intellectual property, of capitalism and Mother's Distressed Pudding!
