  #72: Quoting you quoting Cory (emphasis mine): "Boy, the entertainment industry sure makes a good case for ripping them off, huh?" That does not sound to me at all like he is advocating free copying; he is instead saying that the industry's actions are themselves an inducement. His goal seems clear: he wants industry to abandon DRM, and supports services where you can pay for legal, unencumbered downloads of digital goods.

What really gets me is people that cry about this kind stuff like you. They are taking away DRM licensed content so they can continue to offer you non-licensed content.
