They won't change their policies just cos we dont want to connect to the internet, they know we are easier to fold.
If a tree falls in your path while you're driving, will you start a war to remove the tree from the road, or will you drive around it and keep going?
I will drive around it.
It's not my problem to solve.
Specially if the tree was put in my way on purpose.

I think you will find that it is illegal to remove DRM (without the owners permition).

Digital rights management systems have received some international legal backing by implementation of the 1996 WIPO Copyright Treaty (WCT). Article 11 of the Treaty requires nations party to the treaties to enact laws against DRM circumvention.

And as for owning the software that you bought.... think again.
what you buy is a licence to use the software.

Anne Loucks made a little cardboard placque with a downward extension, put it over her keyboard, and by charmign her cat into walking over it, the placque pressed down on the space bar, agreeing to Adobe Reader's EULA. Her cat might not be a legal entity, but the fact of the matter is that she herself did not agree to the EULA, so technically, she shouldn't be covered by it. Right?
