gov135, you obviously don't know about the DMCA. They've already got them, they're just asking for STRICTER penalties and a wider range of things. And, as far as fair use is concerned, THAT is also being taken away - that's why this is a problem. The way the industry wants it - and the way it's heading at this rate - is for it to be illegal to do ANYTHING to the things you bought from them. That means you can't copy the D you BOUGHT onto your computer for your own personal use. You can't make a copy of it so you can have one in your car and one in your home, you can't do ANYTHING.

That is wrong.
