The main protest against this will have to come from the public and purchasers. Where libraries have an option to buy a DVD thesaurus from vendors it is up to them to purchase one that is not encrypted / region encoded and demand one that is not.
If people continue to purchase these restrictive products they provide funds to the wrong side.
Sure you may have to adjust your musical / Film tastes, if it is Boyzone you like then write to them tell them why you will not buy another CD/DVD and download Courtney Love and listen to her instead and pay her direct. I know the two are not so well musically aligned but the point is we have choice and we must exercise it correctly.
