Music, too?
Curious how the MPAA and RIAA (and other, similar groups) are pushing for the same type of scheme for music and movies. You won't buy a CD or DVD, you will "licence" them.

I find these efforts eerily similar, and not suprisingly both are being met with similar levels of aprehension by the would be purchasers (er-- licencees), albeit for mostly different reasons.
