    The record company can’t disable my physical CD from working if they choose to. That’s 99% of the point.

      That’s a fair distinction. Congrats, I’m finding there are very few people willing to engage in productive discussion on here.

          If I’ve said something false, let me know. As far as I’m aware, what I’ve said is how the law works (at least in the US). I understand if you don’t like those laws, but that doesn’t make them not exist, nor does it make them irrelevant when someone makes a reductive statement like “if buying isn’t ownership, then piracy isn’t stealing”. The fact is, in some cases, it is.
