I wonder if the people breaking these copy protection schemes realize that every time they break a new copy protection scheme another will come along that is worse for the consumer. They just don't get it. They are ruining products for the rest of us.

Tell it to EMI. That's the real fruit of this labor. And it's just starting.
You can't be serious. DRM is what is ruining it for everyone. We're doing everyone a favor by breaking it. Fair use is were it's at. DRM can and always will be broken. It's broken by design. You can’t have a system where you give someone the lock AND the key and expect it not to be broken. The whole premise is faulty. It doesn’t prevent distribution of copyrighted material. It’s just a huge waste-of-time that causes tech support headaches for users and wastes the money of those making products.
