 Yeah, thats true, but what about the kid who xerox's a few pictures and
articals out of his encyclopiedia bertanica for his school report?, he's not
distro-ing it, he's just using it in the way that he wants to use it. after-all
he does own it.

 Thats the big debate over the whole dvd thing, why should the company who
produces the dvd limit you from playing it on a "non-approved operating system"
or for that matter, why should thay limit a european dvd from playing until 6
months after the US dvd version was released?? these poeple own this product,
and thay did not formaly agree to these restrictions (which have nothing to do
with copyright) befor the purchase, therefor the restrictions are not legal.

 Or something... ;-)
