> considering how many more people this impacts? people who want to repair their laptops is likely a lot more people compared to those capable and interested in running anti-DRM software so that they can get hardcopies of movies from Apple TV. legislation that would impact a lot of people and be a big deal would be requiring the various streaming providers to allow transferring someone's purchased content between platforms for free or significantly discounted price. that is, a law which allows anyone to pay for their content only once would impact hundreds of millions of consumers, rather than a law that lets relatively few technically sophisticated users bypass their DRM. The difficulty in gaining support for such an idea should be fairly self evident.
