Well, the funny YouTube link from the last post is gone. It violated copyright of the original movie maker, and you-tube pulled it. And this is the core of the issue around DRM. The link was built from an incredibly dramatic and well acted German docu-drama about Hitler’s end in the bunker. The creator of the work took offences at its use.
Captions of Sony/Toshiba marketing speak were overlaid, and these made the clip funny- to me. I'm sure some people felt mocking Hitler was disrespectful (and about them I could care less). But what if it was a movie about the twin towers, Lee at Gettysburg, Crockett at the Alamo, Nathan Hale at the Gallows, or Leonidas at Thermopylae?
The creator has some rights to control his work- I never want to see Mickey mouse or Bugs Bunny porn.
