An introduction to copyfighting

Everyone who enjoys media of any kind, be it music, movies, TV, books, etc. should read the linked article. It's a really good primer on the ways that media companies are trying to erase consumer's rights to use media that they've bought how they want.

An Introduction to Copyfighting

From the article:

Most of all, we simply want the right to use the products we buy in the way that we see fit. We don't want to be sued by a manufacturer for opening up a product to see how it works or sued by a media company for moving a file from one device to another. We believe that when we buy a CD, we should be able to convert it to another format to play on another device. We shouldn't have to pay again to turn it into a ring tone.
