Brilliant. We should start by stealing all of Steven Metalitz's CDs and destroying them on the street in front of his house. See how he likes losing his "perpetual access to creative works"!
What is to stop some government official from harassing people in to turning over keys to their files? Governmental corruption is not unheard of. Seems like a slippery slope to me. Nibble away at freedom a little bit at a time and no one will notice. Hell, you might even get some backers if you say it is to fight terrorism. Look at the US Patriot Act!
I still have a Pine MP3/CD player. I used to use it in the car with a cassette adapter. It was one of the first players to read the ID3 tag and display it on a small screen on the top of the player. The songs would skip if someone farted too loudly but I thought it was the coolest thing out there. I don't get out much.

There goes my planned defense against the MPAA. Back to the drawing board.
