I also agree. I buy the games, and then also hunt down and use a modified exe so I don't have to install their DRM or have the damn DVD in the tray everytime I want to play a game.
The media (concerning print, TV, radio, news, tabloids, gossip etc.) have set a precedence on who owns the news when they started buying story's from celebrities, accident victims, national hero's, etc.
So with a precedence in place, how can they now say that "they" own the story just because they reported it?
Unless the person. company, state or Country etc. that they are reporting about have sold the rights to them.
Otherwise the news belongs to the person/persons that the news report is based on.
I agree, were does it all stop.
The likes of Sony produce burners that are used far more to copy copyrighted material than is downloaded.
But those companies that are quick to point the finger also hold a large stake in copyright infringement producing products themselves, but like most try to pass the buck.
True, Nobody HAS to support anything. But should be made to.
Hardware manufactures, design hardware for a certain architecture. Support for such should not be based on what OS you use.
To do so creates an anti-competitive market and should be treated as such in law.

Yes, ash can fail the engines. Just like British Airways Flight 9, back in 1982.
Here is the article from wikipedia...
