Music biz wants tougher DMCA, CPRM 2 to protect copyright

[Rodney K]

If you really think about it, the consumers are the ones that make the music 
industry rich, and in a sense, it's like they are trying to chase us away. In 
the retail industry, if a store pisses a customer off, the customer shops 
somewhere else, I wonder if this would be possible in this scenario? Well if 
a alternative were to surface.
