Ruined is not my source for feeling that way - it's the way the BD (and other) technology is heading. (See the recent new about Bioware's "rolling DRM" - 'Mass Effect' to have terrible DRM - luckily they've reversed that)

If the consumer doesn't get involved, then we will get ever-increasing attempts to limit use of this tech. And just because someone is concerned with DRM doesn't mean that they are automatically a pirate. To say so is like agreeing with unlimited search and seizure by the government because "hey, if you're not guilty then you have nothing to fear!". That's dangerous.
