I'd prefer to know what is going to be in the FTA *before* my 
Government binds me to it.

If beef and wheat exports to the USA have to suffer just so we don't 
have to accept the DMCA, then so be it!

Or to paraphrase most posts to Whingepool, "if there are limitations, 
it's not *free* is it?"  ;)

But we do have the right to make backup copies, to protect ourselves 
from damage to media.

I'll make a point of obnoxiously complaining that, "this isn't a real 
CD... I want this music on CD please" next time I'm out buying music.
