Re: DRM in OGG - A Proposal

>Only if you're the copyright holder.

Wrong. When I buy a CD I get to make a back-up copy. I get to make Oggs for
my hardrive, mp3s for my portable player, back-up CD for both in case of
hardware failure, and another CD copy just cause I can't get enough of
those tunes. 'Tis my right. If a technology stops this from taking place it
is depriving me of my rights.

Not so much to the artist, but it must to the labels given their recent
tantrums and breaking of toys.
