Laws and locks (Score:2)

Consider that the purpose of the lock on your front door is not to keep thieves out (it's almost certainly trivial to bypass it) but to keep honest people honest. Laws serve a similar purpose.

  Very true. If you really want to keep thieves out, you use big dogs, alarm systems, and boobytraps! ;-)

  But, the choice of having the lock, what kind of lock, and using the lock... are all mine. Not being able to watch a movie on my Linux box... (as an example) wasn't my choice.

    Of course - you don't give the thieves the choices! :-)
