From what I have read and heard anecdotally from others, what you are describing is not a one-off. There are several businesses that take this approach, and (from what I gather) it tends to be most popular in sales departments.

It's called Stack Ranking and it causes problems when people need to cooperate (like on programming teams), because people won't cooperate, they'll backstab each other. It's entirely counterproductive.

It works ok on sales teams when salespeople operate independently of each other. (ie, the more they work together, the less it works).

None of which are defined with the authority of the copyright owner.

LOL no doubt that will hold up in court. The law doesn't say it has to be defined with the authority of the copyright owner.

The part about authority means that even if you manage to break the copy protection (which you have by switching your user agent), if you do that without authorization, then you've broken the law.

Again, this is one of the problems with the DMCA.
