Since Sony graciously added a root kit to my computer a few years back, destroying the computer's ability to perform a factory reset (as it wrote over the manufacturer's info in the BIOS) I refuse to buy CDs with copy protection. Instead, I steal the content from the internet - yes, that's right - I steal it.
Who is the victim here? Well, I am - I had my computer hacked (I think hacked is a fair term to use for this type of activity) by a copy-protected disc. The artists are also victims - thanks to the distributors I will no longer purchase their material. The filmmakers are also victims - for the same reasons as the artists.
So I don't care about these new developments, it doesn't affect me in the slightest.
