"They want to have their cake and eat it too"
Stupid indeed, but isn't that exactly what you wanted also?
You had the option to import a CD, or to not have it at all. To you, the only legal option was to import the CD, which you didn't want to do.
The option was there but you chose to pirate instead. Yes the record company could offer other means, but they don't- that still doesn't justify piracy.

Australia To Block BitTorrent 674

Posted by CmdrTaco on Monday December 22, 2008 @10:56AM from the who-saw-that-coming dept.

Kevin 7Kbps writes "Censorship Minister Stephen Conroy announced today that the Australian Internet Filters will be extended to block peer-to-peer traffic, saying, 'Technology that filters peer-to-peer and BitTorrent traffic does exist and it is anticipated that the effectiveness of this will be tested in the live pilot trial.' This dashes hopes that Conroy's Labor party had realised filtering could be politically costly at the next election and were about to back down. The filters were supposed to begin live trials on Christmas Eve, but two ISPs who volunteered have still not been contacted by Conroy's office, who advised, 'The department is still evaluating applications that were put forward for participation in that pilot.' Three days hardly seems enough time to reconfigure a national network."

Nobody is 'forcing' you to do anything. If you don't like the DRM, don't buy or play the game. Clifski sums it up perfectly: http://games.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1045255&cid=25920081 Pirating helps nobody and you cannot attempt to justify it with whatever reason- be it that you don't 'like' DRM or don't agree with the publisher/developer.
