This is NOT about RIAA and the MPAA
Gawd I wish people would get this simple fact through their thick skulls. DRM (Digital Rights Management) gives EVERY creator of documents, data, personal information, etc. an efffective lock to their content. The fact others (RIAA and MPAA) can also use it doesn't even come into the argument.
