If a dvd dies (::sob:: Disc 2 of my <i>Firefly<\/i> set is getting there), I can&#8217;t just make a copy.  I have to spend another $40 to replace my much beloved copy of that wonderful Joss Whedon series.<br \/>\nBut see, I&#8217;ve been a bad, bad woman.  I&#8217;ve succesfully converted three people in the last week into Browncoats.  They&#8217;ve come over to watch the series with me.  I&#8217;ve also let friends borrow my set, and much converting has progressed from this point.  Did I say borrow?  Yes, I did.  If I were to convert this to technological lingo, I could say it was filesharing.  How do I know that the people that borrowed my box set didn&#8217;t have the capacity to burn dvds?  I was just sharing, and they loved it.  Oh, and they did go and buy the <i>Firefly<\/i> dvds themselves, and Browncoats will eventually control the universe.<br \/>\nThe point is, fair use leads to word of mouth and a whole lot of other goodies.<br \/>\nSo, it&#8217;s rather hysterical to read an article such as the one in today&#8217;s &quot;Wired&quot; that basically says that <a href=\"\/%22http:\/\/www.wired.com\/news\/digiwood\/0,1412,67556,00.html?tw=wn_tophead_1%22\">future dvds and players will need my fingerprint<\/a> before I can play them.  Really, why not label all of us criminals all ready.  Or better yet, the day the movie association accepts such a ludicrous drm scheme, that will be the day internet pirating will truely become a problem.
