Doesn't the DMCA ban the circumvention of DRM to access work that is under copyright?
Could someone legally research and publish circumvention techniques for these titles and be immune from the DMCA due to the fact that the underlaying works are in the Public Domain?
PopeRatzo's point is entirely valid and relevant to this story. I'm sympathetic to his post because I happen to be in exactly the same position (Apple's policy is stopping me from becoming a customer). I do not see where he is whining. Rob R. you seem to have quite a chip on your shoulder feeling you have to justify the choices you have made. You remind me of a beaten wife, defending her husband's actions "he only does it because he loves me".
Maybe Rogers will start playing ads when you dial a non existent number using their phone service. Obviously you could opt out, in which case they would play a recording of the 'number not available' tone.
I hate Rogers, but I have no other wired provider available to me where I live.

As soon as I saw the TechDirt headline, I knew this was going to be a Daily Fail story....

Re:
Where does he sound gleeful?
He's not saying it's a good thing, or that it's fair, simply that it's a lie to say that money is being removed from the wider economy because of it.
Search Results?
What would happen to their Google rankings? Would they not become impossible to index?
More opportunity...
