Modded Troll, really?
Isn't it incredible how many government overreach defenders there are online?

First they came for the nurses, but I did nothing because it did not affect me.

Then they came for the truckers, but I did nothing because it did not affect me.

Then they came for me, but there was nobody left to defend me.

Indeed, when I discovered the suggested "workflow" to make that happen I was even more appalled at the iPhone platform than before, and that's saying something! If iPhone was supported by the heart medicine drug makers I would not even be surprised.

"... these films that they amount to much, much more than mere property to be exploited and then locked away. They are among the greatest treasures of our culture, and they must be treated accordingly."

Said as Disney slaps warning labels and age restrictions on The Muppet Show. What's to say that future generations will even tolerate these "treasures" and not ban them outright?

Selfish? More like in-tune with how politicians who make the rules act in reality, not listening to their own restrictions. This is the game being played - why can't regular folk follow the examples of the overseers? Is that actually selfish, or just common sense to want to be treated equally?

Note: I don't know what the leaders in other countries are like, but in Canada they're a bunch of lying scumbags who have no accountability for breaking the rules.
