That's exactly the way the industry lobby is pushing. Songs from Itunes are already, in theory, limited to a certain number of computers and devices. You're not "buying" the song so much as you are getting a license to use the song in a particular way. You might own the physical media but the content encoded on that CD is licensed. And by circumventing any copy protection measures that may be utlized to protect users from using that content in a way that violates the license (e.g. copying the song to your mp3 player) you would be violating the anti-circumvention provisions of the proposed copyright law.
So, yeah. This is really not cool. Tell your friends. Tell your coworkers. Tell your MP.
