Readable rant by Dan Gillmor on manouevres by big players from Hollywood to Belo to force customers to experience media product in the precisely way the publishers wish — by banning deep linking; by disabling the fast forward button during the adverts/copyright intro to DVDs; by accusing people of "theft" if they decline to view every advert thrown at them. "Law and technology are combining to carve away your rights in favor of the owners' control".
