really?

in earlier discussions on list it was said by you drm-proponents that music 
and video are different  and that only video needed DRM protection

yet you've just expanded the scope above from video-only to audio and video, 
that's en entire other class of content added to the walled garden

is it really a wonder that there is no trust that it won't creep even further
