Like a book. The copy should be mine, to use or dispose of as I
see fit. With a book, I can make copies for my own use. What we've got
now is books written so that one has to use the "magic red glasses"
to read it, and laws which make it semi illegal (illegal in some
countries) to use the glasses to make a clear Xerox type copy.

The "regionalization" of DVDs is sort of like making an attempt
to publish a book which I can read only in my own country. It
doesn't make sense. The only people who get penalized are those who
want to make legitimate copies for their own use, so they don't
wear out the original.

right to play, under certain very restricted conditions, the material that's on that tape - you certainly haven't bought any rights, expressed or implied, to the material itself - I know you like to argue, Mike, but don't take this as an attempt to argue with you, I'm not - the excessive pre-occupation with "intellectual rights" and "piracy" is anathema to me - the notion of asserting "intellectual rights" with the majority of the dreck that pours out

What we need is an attitude adjustment to the progress of technology
which doesn't involve trying to impede its normal progress.
