Very good work. It's not only a case of them knowing their being watched.
Ultimately the only way that the public has any power in the standard
"market economy" is if we can get the stores - particularly the large
chains - to force a change on publishers.

Should all Virgin, HMV and Tower stores refuse to accept "use restricted"
discs then the publishers will have no choice but to abandon the
implementation of these schemes.
