[advocacy] DRM in OGG - A Proposal

[Vance Roussin]

>Only if you're the copyright holder.

Wrong. When I buy a CD I get to make a back-up copy. I get to make Oggs for
my hardrive, mp3s for my portable player, back-up CD for both in case of
hardware failure, and another CD copy just cause I can't get enough of
those tunes. 'Tis my right. If a technology stops this from taking place it
is depriving me of my rights.

>cheaper production and not paying royalties?   

Not so much to the artist, but it must to the labels given their recent
tantrums and breaking of toys.
