I suspect we are not the only ones. The driving force behind the digital locks isn't to prevent piracy as claimed, it's to try and force the resale of an already purchased product. The cartels were doing great in the days of vinyl when records wore out. Repeat buys were a regular thing. Again during the change over of formats it happened again to keep them awash in cash. Since the days of more sturdy containers as cds and dvds, those repeats have fallen off. Admittedly, if you have children, your repeat reason is right at hand. Short of that, proper care ensures that they will last quite some time and are not subject to the wear out that occurred with tapes and vinyl. With that comes less need of people to rebuy what they already own. This idea that the repeat buy must be forced on you to continue that steady flow is the main reason for the digtal locks. Since the flow of new artists has been strangled and the cartels no longer groom artists for the long term, newer artists don't have staying power. Predominately they are flashes in the pan with one hit and when the public interest is for something new, rarely do they return for the one hit stuffed with filler as an album. The cartels have already gotten their money. However stockholders require a what-have-you-done-for-me-today mindset. Keeping up with the latest in profit taking is the driving force behind the cartels. I've no sympathy for them and their methods of doing business. With the current atmosphere of one hit wonders, the cartels have set themselves up for a guarenteed decline in profits as the public looks elsewhere for bang for the buck entertainment. The cartels see the sue'em all as a free cash cow and nothing short of that. While the reasons are drummed to by concern for the artists, as usual nothing could be farther from the truth.

A great amount of music on my PC is from my own CD rips because I prefer to use LAME and do APS as opposed to listening to some noob's Xing 128kbps rip of a CD.
