Re: [microsound] popcorn

Maybe so, I'm no Lawrence Lessig or Jack Valenti for that matter.

But I do have another question:  When all those fancy shmancy TV ads tell
you that you can "own it today" for new DVD's, shouldn't they really say
"license the content for viewing from a DVD today"?

Seems kind of deceptive that ad campaigns can tell you that you own
something but when you try to exercise any type of "ownership" besides
watching it on a region-encoded acceptable player, they get all in a hissy
fit.

Unless, of course they are just being sneaky about the fact that you own the
piece of plastic, but not the content.  Then that's just a plain ole' mean
trick.
