Awesome, even more horseshit from the MPAA and RIAA.
Again, if all this is about licensing the intellectual property of music and movies, then where are my never-expiring ownership certificates for every piece of music and video I've ever bought?
If they want me to respect their property, they should refund me for all the CD's I've had to buy 3 or 4 times at full price because the disc got a scratch in it.
I was never paying for intellectual property, I've been paying the full cost of the music, media and an obscene markup for their profits. Now they want me to relinquish control over the media I have paid for, saying I have only licensed the content - but if the media does not last, there is still no way I can redeem my content license without paying their ridiculous profit markup again.
What a racket.
