If they're going to any length to get business, even if it pisses off they're staunchest fans, they're acting like a megacorp.
I'm not arguing for them sacrificing their customer base. I'm arguing for us not letting companies like Apple and Google get away with looking like the good guys when they're just the profit-driven guys like everyone else. Google's "Don't Be Evil" motto makes me sick, just like the squeaky-clean reputation Steve Jobs once had.

But what is more evil - refusing to honor the rights from content owners that Congress has passed laws protecting, or enforcing some content consumer right you think you have?
