With the ongoing war on the citizenry of the United States by vested rights holding interests (not all rights holding interests, mind, just a few nasty ones. See: RIAA, MPAA, BSA) they’ve declared that their right to protect their IP is more important than your continued ability to draw breath.
Lemme run that by you one more time. They’re defending the current state of it being illegal to circumvent DRM even if lives are being threatened for some reason by it.
So it looks like they’d rather see people dead than allow for DRM to be broken. And the nice thing about it all is that there are a bunch of large faceless corporations which hide behind these “special interest groups” that are created to shield them from societies wrath over.. well.. stupid statements like this, really.
They do get away with saying the most outragous bs. When’s the last time Sony/BMG and Time Warner came out against children and puppies? Trick question. With the MPAA and RIAA in their control they don’t have to.
