You provided a dead URL.
I didn't make the claim you stated.
You didn't study the section on circumvention or you'd have understood that circumvention
is allowed under some circumstances by the DMCA and made illegal under others. You see,
the verb "change" doesn't automatically mean "reduce" and your "license restrictions" mean
diddly squat if contrary to the DMCA. Now take some time and think about permanent
markers, copy-protected CDs and DMCA.
I'll give you another example of how rights are changed after the purchase. Take the
Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998. By extending copyright terms by 20 years, our
present and future rights on many recordings previously bought under another one of your
so-called "licenses" were postponed (i.e. denied) for another 20 years. This, as a change
in rights, will probably escape you too.
Carry on with your nonsense and adulterating what others say.
