I totally agree. However, the real issue behind adding such a feature isn't ethics or legality. In making the move, what must be considered is what reaction you might face from those arrogant controlling parties who may, at a whim, decide to make you a target. A lawsuit is a lawsuit. Win or lose, there is a cost.

Up in canuck-land, we all pay a fee on blank media simply because it 'might' be used for copying music. So far it isn't all blank media, but every year the attempt is made to add hard drives and CF to this list.
