"This kind of behavior is a microcosm of everything that the industry has been doing wrong for years. I won't buy CDs that I can't rip to my hard drive. If legislation is passed that outlaws my CD burner and prevents me from making mixes for my friends, I'll return to my cloistered past, unaware and unengaged with all the music being created in the world. And if I'm exposed to less music, I'll buy less music."

This quote is from an interesting article on Salon.com called "The digital music renaissance" you might wanna check out (you may have to watch an ad before you get to read the article, but it's worth it).
