I'm not convinced that the "ethics" surrounding content protection are so cut and dry (I'm ignoring malware masked add DRM here as i don't believe or applies). I wish that Hollywood would get with the times. I wish they would give me affordable and reasonable mediums with which to watch their content.
That said, i recognize that it is their content, and i don't think that their methods here make them "bad" or "evil". I think they're dinosaurs who are slow to change and afraid of losing money.
I don't think this is a moral issue, nor do i believe that we have an inaliable right to watch Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones.
I do, but I think it goes a level up. It's the political system that needs to change. I fully expect companies to use what means they have available to them in order to improve their business (to a point). I'n also not saying that they don't do anything unethical, I was speaking to the general idea of protecting their investment as it applies to DRM in your browser.
