I always thought it was about racism. For the first half of the film, everybody mistreats Sen\Chihiro simply because she is different. As Chihiro's grows up and proves herself to these people, the characters begin to respect her for who she is and sees past what she is. Yubaba doesn't see this. She was so occupied with money and running her business that she failed to notice even when her son had been replaced.
The big clue is the scene on the train. As Chihiro rides, we see neon signs advertising businesses, services and corporations. We see the spiritual entities go about thier lives, and it dawns upon the audience that the only difference between these spirits and the humans is what they look like. Everything else is the same.
These companies think we're stupid. They don't think we'd notice watermarks or stuff like that. And the sad thing is, people give these companies more power by not being involved in the technelogical aspects of thier lives.
If I get a HD-DVD player ande am unable to play a video because some pansy executive takes away my privacy in the name of "ant-piracy," I will demand my money back.
On a related note, I head that the players tested with Gigli discs self destructed immediately.

In the future, the only music format safe from DRM will be LPs and cassetes. It might be a good idea to start collecting them...

At least, that's what I got from it.
But can it be dual-booted with other operating systems? If it can't I wouldn't see a point in installing it.

Now they need a ratings system to tell them that the 2005 Madrake LE sucks? Geez...
