Didn't we go through this mess way back when cassette tape recorders came out?
Its the same sort of issue and the same companies throwing the same fits.
They just dislike technology that gives control of content to people.
Don't forget because Piracy accounts for *shakes magic eight ball..and then uses another more special eight ball* fifty hojillion in lost profits. Don't forget also that its Obama that is causing it I'm sure. For the other people in the crowd, Bush caused it too! Hmm other tried and true conspiracy reasoning...umm Major League Baseball and their steroids and gay marriage caused the LHC to not create a black hole but cause the copyrights to turn into mutants? I dunno.
Figured I'd toss in a few various things for the crowd to latch onto to gnash their teeth over!
Because then PEOPLE might actually raise their voice and try to protect/damage the ability of the groups to get this signed sealed and delivered so they can begin the great POP Campaign as I call it (with less vulgar wording)
POP Campaign=Poop On the People Campaign. Which seems what the MPAA and RIAA like to do.
Welcome to the future, where rather then try to try to encourage people to buy your products because they are good you MAKE people buy your products because you're the only game in town and they will enjoy it or you get money from them otherwise.
These are the things that restore a few bits of my faith in humanity.
I work a help desk job so I go up and down on my faith but these stories always give it a boost and make me wish a "reboot" of the world that much less.

A place where "putting on your robe and wizard hat" is probably not a good idea.
Exactly. Placebo effect wins another round?
