WWII Bomber: "Trademark Infringement"

Especially troublesome in this case, is the fact that the US government, and therefore the taxpayers, have already compensated the contractor immensely for its work. Yes, our grandparents already paid for those bombers, just as we are now paying for all the Apaches, Sidewinders, M-1 Abrahms', etc. Military designs have generally been considered public domain material as far as plastic model kits are concerned, at least that's what a friend of mine at one of the major hobby companies told me. It seems stupid to crackdown like this, since models of these vehicles, and their use in media, generally promotes the contractor with free publicity, and basically a pro-military (spending) message. But I guess everybody wants to be the new RIAA..

FWIW, batch renaming and changing extensions is pretty easy if you use something like MRename.

I'd say DRM like that is a dealbreaker on principal alone, even if you don't fileshare. What's next, they'll prohibit even storing files they don't approve of?
If one found themselves stuck with one of these bricks, I bet changing the offending file extension or placing it in a .zip or .rar would do the trick.

Well, at least it's the toilet on the bottom, and the washer up top. Don't want to imagine the reverse of that (oops, just did, ew). Very good, carry on!
