Correct me if I'm wrong on this one but when did companies start spawning on their own? I was always under the impression that they were created and ran by people.
And now for the rest of your irrational babbling...
Right to make money is not a right , but a privilege granted to the corporations etc... as long as it is for the public good
Could you please explain this one to me? Are you saying that I have no right to demand payment from somebody who uses my product? Or as only being a privilege granted to me (by whom?), do I just have to accept it when it is deemed better for society if everyone gets to use it for free?
However, they have no right to restrict the usage of any other equipment
The issue is not whether they can restrict the usage of equipment, the issues is whether they can restrict onto which equipment you are allowed to listen or view their content after the purchase.
When you buy a CD, you are purchasing the right for your usage only; not the usage of all your friends too. The problem with DRM is that in trying to combat illegal usage of content by those who haven't paid for it, they are severely restricting the usage of those who have.
This will become a non-issue when Microsoft goes bankrupt soon anyways

Everything revolves around Microsoft doesn't it?
