We bought it, we should be able to do whatever we want with it in the privacy of our own homes!

A great line on Fair Use from a haiku, by Norm, referred to us by one of our favorite freedom fighters, Cory Doctorow:

Restrictive copyright is like a vegetarian knife. You bought the knife, but if you cut meat with it, we'll sue you.

UPDATE:
And, you gotta love this Cold Pizza license.
