You have no right to the media they produce

They have no right to force everyone else to conform to absurd rules made to preserve their profits.



Do they force you? Do you have to buy a Rihanna album?


Some people would consider popular music to be part of their culture. It's much like asking if you have to buy Microsoft Office when it has such a hegemony. You can of course not buy it, but there is pressure to do so.


That's a fuzzy line that invites far more chaos from over-zealous regulation than it does protect the user.


That's an entirely different issue and not a counter point to what I'm saying.
