So is it "a viewing" that is being sold? Are they buying my eyes, am I selling? How much do other companies pay for my eyes to see their shit advertisement even though Im not selling? And I dont get or see any of that money.

I already payed for the bandwidth to see the movie, it was already on my private property, it is my right to save it and to re-sell it or to mix it with other movies. But no, the intellectual right of the creator supersedes private property, and even my own intellectual creativity - no remixing.

Send intellectual property and rights to the trashcan, write into the constitution that anything written and created is available for remixing and redistribution by any means.

You're allowed to remix it as much as you like in your own home for your own amusement, the problem comes when you publicly release that remix.

Though enforcement is a gray area as long as it's a noncommercial release and is not a realistic substitute for purchasing the original copyrighted content. Even the RIAA never tried to sue DJs releasing free online mixes they made.

Not really. Once you subvert the DRM module, you've already broken the law.
