They never had the right to impose arbitrary requirements to media they produce. Under the US Constitution (and just about every jurisdiction in the world) they can't ever get absolute rights over data once they hand it over to you. In other words, there's no such thing as "intellectual property". And this "you opted in" argument is a fallacy. If people were free to choose between a crippled and a non-crippled option, they would always choose the non-crippled one. The only way they ever accept those terms is either because they don't have choice or they're missinformed. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us. We will decide when (and how) you may access your data; but nobody's threatening your freedom: we still allow you to remove your data and not access it at all." _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
