It's fine and dandy to say don't but copy protected content. The problem is, only a small percentage of the population understands what that means. DRM doesn't hurt us, almost everyone in this thread knows how to circumvent it or at least know who to ask.
DRM hurts people like our parents. Trying to explain that the CD they bought cannot be put on their iPod because the record label has put copy protection on there AND the Canadian Government says you can't do anything about that even though they bought it and want to take it with them on their holiday. But, their other CD's should be fine.
To a person who thinks that pirates are privateers whom were the problem of the British government a hundred years ago and Bit Torrent is a salted snack, this probably seem a little ridicolous.
