Now okay you guys, I'm all for whatever limits you put on your own tech to prevent pirating in terms of you have the right to do it. However, if someone else wants to make a device that outperforms yours and allows user modification, and yes, the potential the device could be used for pirating (much in the way that technically a car can be used as a weapon). Let the people who want to create things create them. I really don't care if it threatens someone's pockets. I really only care about a threat to someone's life in a direct fasion.
Sorry big giant companies, I'm for protecting your rights, but not at the expense of my own, and also I really don't care about protecting your pockets. If you fail, then so be it. Lots of people aren't rich.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
