Why should it be "real specific?" No one deserves to have their economic model protected via technological roadblocks. It sucks, but that's the march of progress. I'll continue buying my software, but I'm not surrendering control over my property in exchange (IE don't treat your customers like thieving criminals.)

PCs aren't abandoned last I check. By that logic we would all be using heavily locked down consoles for all of our computing these days.

I understand that they WANT that, though. Nothing worse than consumers who think they have, you know, rights and the power to do what they want.
