Basically well-stated. But remember, in a truly capitalist society, when a new technology comes along which renders an earlier technology obsolete (e.g. one-off sales of content no longer valid in the digital era) then that truly capitalistic society would allow new sections of the economy to open up from companies manufacturing unfettered devices taking advantage of the new technologies. No capitalist government would ever throw its support to DRM or pass a law like the Digital Millenium Copyright Act.
Despite all its faults, America is still a great country, and I have never seen evidence that any other country on earth is better. The original American ideals retain full validity. The problem is getting back to those ideals, and away from the perversions which religious and corporate fascists have foisted on this great place.
