The media companies ... who obviously feel that punishing legitimate
buyers is going to discourage the ones who steal content. 

Perhaps I'm a little odd, but being trusted to do the right thing tends
to make me behave, and implying that I'm not trusted (with DRM and
those really irritating warnings about illegal copying in DVD opening
scenes) makes me want to start haunting torrent search sites and punish
my ISP by downloading as much as possible.
