Hear, hear! Well put! It's basically as simple as this. They try to use all the legal double-speak, but you can't set a double standard. If you own a copy of something, you OWN it, outright. It doesn't matter if it's a book, a CD, a DVD or an eight-track tape of Journey's Greatest Hits. It's yours.
Physical media is on the verge of becoming obsolete. Downloadable content is cheaper and easier, and will inevitably replace 90% of just about all media.
I just find it interesting that apparently there's no room for a middle ground. I consider myself a Christian, I believe that God created the universe and everything in it, AND I believe in MICRO-evolution, in which species do evolve and adapt. However, MACRO-evolution, in which one species evolves into a completely new species, has never been proven.
