"Thanks, SDMI, but no thanks. I won't do your dirty work for you."

"I will never make or distribute a bootleg copy of a recording. But fair use is fair use."

"I insist on my right to use copyrighted material I buy in accordance with the traditional rights of a music customer. I will play one copy at a time on the device of my choosing, and I will make a personal copy if necessary."

"I will not participate in your organization's plan to seize total control over recorded music away from the customer. I will not help test programs or devices that violate privacy or interfere with the right of fair use."
