(I'm not the only one either apparently... this question was asked to Tony Clement on twitter and he said he would "get back to us" on that) This is the kicker - because if it is clearly labelled then Yes we have full choice whether to purchase or not... but the industry KNOWS most people will not buy shit that is labelled that it contains digital locks... so will we be left to buy first and learn later whether or not we can make our own backups? Jayx1 if you yourself do not know which specific media will and will not be DRM'd then how can you possibly know that ripping will not be breaking a lock?

thats a good point. I agree that it should be marked so as to give people the proper information to make a choice on whether or not to purchase the product. But that doesnt mean i disagree with whats about to happen otherwise.
