Presently, the political arguments are ultimately just pointing out the absurd inequity of the current regime, so that people stop believing in and following these laws that the content cartels bought and will continue to buy. The only way to overcome thoroughly entrenched corruption is through mass disobedience, like the "drug war". The summary of what I really think about the combination of copyright, DMCA anti-circumvention and summary takedown, restrictions created from computational complexity, and monopolistic app stores, etc is "do what you want 'cause a pirate is free". The path to real progress is getting the masses to self actualize and use self-representing computing technology, rather than falling for the siren song of advertising dollars promising fallacious convenience. These monopolist-makes-arbitrary-problematic-decision stories are mostly irrelevant once you've escaped their proprietary locked down world. Sure, it's less good that I can't just type "angry birds" into Aurora Store and have the game magically appear, but if I cared that much about it I should have kept a copy when I first installed it. But even though I didn't I can probably find it in some android torrent anyway - similar to every other orphaned work.
