I don't like closed systems.

Basically, if reverse engineering is banned, then a lot of the open source community is doomed to fail.

All over the world copyright holders are trying to limit consumers' rights. We cannot have that.

I've probably bought ten CDs in my whole life.

Anyone with a little computer experience knows that anything can be copied bit-by-bit with the right equipment.

Basically, if I have no intention of using a service then I won't bother reverse-engineering it.

I still haven't heard anything from Apple about my hacks. There is a tool based on my work reverse-engineering Apple's FairPlay called jhymn that's been hosted on a U.S. server for over a year and nothing has happened.
