Sony (or whoever the contract holder is) controls the rights to the music you recorded for them. The contract states that Sony controls where, when, and how it is distributed. It doesn't have to say anything about iTune, P2P, or any future tech for delivering music. If you signed in the 80s before CD, you as the artist do not get distribution rights on CD just because it wasn't spelled out.
Everyone is getting wrapped up around the "little guy vs. the big bad corporation" when it is really just about honoring the contract that you have signed. I'm sure if it was a case of Sony renegging on a clause in the contract (Hey, you guys are selling fewer CDs than we expected, so we are going to take a bigger cut to even things out, okay? We're just protecting our interests), everyone would be bashing them just as hard.

Nice hyperbole... How is this preventing you from watching a movie? Does it interfere with your bionic eye implants? If you don't want to go the movies, for whatever reason, I don't care. But don't use this as an excuse when there are many better.
Hmmm... I had to sign one of those when I came to work at my new company, only they spelled 'gag' "N-O-N D-I-S-C-L-O-S-U-R-E A-G-R-E-E-M-E-N-T". I guess "gag order" sounds more sinister.

Just give me an aluminum bed slat and a 60 watt bulb, and I could fashion a crude phase to escape any cell the put me in.
