You ought to go in to politics because this is yet another ridiculous
parallel of the kind that politicians use to fool voters.
In what way are Mozilla, Adobe, or a copyright holder building a fence
on public property when a user freely installs a plugin on his/her own
computer in order to download restricted content? It's all done
without impinging on anyone else's property or liberty.
The Internet is public property in the same way the roads that connect
us are. DRM is a fence. My right to use things that I pay for is
restricted by DRM.
