I just ran across an article called The Right to Read by RMS that is a must read by anyone who owns a TV, VCR, CDs, books or computer. I've long been whining about the DMCA and other legislation (and technology) that nibbles away at the intent of fair use. "The Right to Read" is a short story of a disutopia, a prognosis of what can happen if the trend continues as it has. We've already seen shrink wrapped textbooks with licenses similar to the licenses of software in the last few years, break the shrink wrap and you've agreed to the book's license. This story just points out what could happen if this sort of thing progressed.
