I don't even think this is a fair rights issue maybe the program sharing feature is but not the comercial skipping

I think it was further back when lawyers came about. now these large companies file a lawsuit based on crap and the small company ends up going broke defending itself (like with the two companies that had sony playstation emulators for sale)

I would like to see the music part end when the artists figure out they can just sell their stuff themselves on the internet and cut out the middle man.
