    "Macrovision and other companies' claims that they can "protect" content. They can't, but they've made a lot of money by convincing people that they can, but unfortunately, that's all starting to unravel."

    Let's reword this:

    Microsoft and other companies claim that they can "protect" an OS. They can't, but they've made a lot of money by convincing people that they can, but unfortunately, that's all starting to unravel.

    I'd say that's equally and completely true.

    Not a criticism of your point, which is true, merely an observation.
