| Today, it is still legal to make a copy of your music, but the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) made a sneaky end-around your right to copy. The end-around is called the DMCA ... DMCA has a seemingly innocuous clause making it illegal to disable or tamper with encryption ... you purchased a new CD by your favorite band. Then, let's say you own an iPod or some other MP3 portable music device. And finally, just for laughs, let's say you had the audacity to want to listen to your new music on your portable device ... on some new CDs, recording companies have started to encrypt music CDs in hopes of thwarting piracy ... In order for you to put your new (paid for) music on your player, you are now forced to get around the encryption on the disc which makes you a criminal ... a new piece of legislation that would not only keep the broken DMCA intact, but would go further to strip law-abiding citizens of their rights."

Is this not bulls***? So, in theory, if one has a copy of Alcohol 120% or DVD Decrypter on their PC, they're in for some serious trouble.
