I've never heard anyone say that the Civil Rights movement was a bad example of people demanding enforcement of existing laws and rights. That's kind of the hallmark of that exact thing.
And the EU commission outlined exactly why this is eroding intellectual property rights.
I honestly don't know what to say to you at this point.
I'm not going to debate your bad faith arguments, so that's where this ends. Much like SKG.

The whole intellectual property rights arguments boils down to the fact that publishers and their suppliers don’t want restrictions to tell people they’re actually buying a license and not a copy. Yes, as a property holder you enjoy complete control of how those properties are used, but if they decide to sell a copy you don’t get to take that sale back, unlike with a license could be termed. So then the industry is using all it’s power to avoid that designation, including lots and lots of bad faith. My opinion is that at this point the offenders need some form of punishment. In the case where you have a legal copy, you as a consumer are free to keep that copy and keep it running.
