A good chunk of the music on EZT was from artists who allow their live performances to be recorded and traded. Bands like the Grateful Dead and Phish not only allowed it but encouraged it. Other artist like the Pat Metheny Group merely allow it. In other words, there was a huge difference between EZT and suprnova/Lokki/warez BT sites.
It amazes me that a few months after breaking up Phish is still as popular as ever. Damn you, hippies!

Our Top 50 DVDs of All Time. Remember, these aren't the Top 50 Greatest movies of all time - we are judging how worthwhile the actual DVD is in terms of quality and extras.
You might be able to make a case for deceptive advertising where they don't clearly disclose the DRM. Consumers are accustomed to DVD's that can play without any restrictions. By greatly restricting what the consumer is getting without clearly disclosing these restrictions, the media companies' omissions are materially deceptive.
Actually, if enough people complain to their state's attorney's general, we might be able to at least get some sort of clear warnings on the package.
