Huh ? And I suppose that you think that locks on the doors
reduce the value of a house ? Nonsense. Good copy protection,
that is built into a standard from the start, not as an
afterthought as with audio CD, is completely invisible to the
honest user. Until he starts handing out illegal copies.
All this bullshit about the right to make "backups", copies
for the car, downsampled copies for the portable media player,
it is not true. The only reason for making copies is for
giving them away or for trading. A bit of undefeatable copy
protection goes a long way for reading people their rights.
If people were honest, the lock and key would not have been
invented. Now count the keys in your pockets.
Best regards,
