There is one exception to the rule.If you but a piece of media for somebody who does not have a suitable player,you can copy the media onto another format for that person.

Hmm.... strange. According to my law, I'm entitled to make a copy for private use, practice and study. Your DVD-example is kinda badly chosen, by the way, since to my knowledge, you can't record the output from a DVD player to a vcr. Protected also. You could make a DVD-rip for use on your PC, however...

In my opinion, in order to protect the artist, I can live with a "little inconvience".

I guess you just touched on the sole reason for the copy protection/disc corruption... file sharing. I do also 'rip' my entire collection to my harddrive (37GB so far), and I never share my own rips. I do however download some songs from p2p-networks to sample albums I've got my eye (and ears) on...
But unlike you, I'm very set against the 'little inconvience' of not being able to rip my own CDs. What's the use of portable mp3-players if all CDs end up being copy corrupted?

I've seen it around ever since it was first released in Europe... (don't wory, I bought it, hell, you even personally signed it in Amsterdam)
But may I ask where you got the precise amount of downloads? Afaik, you can't monitor the p2p networks, and even if you could, it sounds like a huge pile of corporate BS to me, maybe just intended to scare you...
And by the way, what is your point of view on this matter? I really like to know...
