@GlasgowGuy
I've read horror stories from Compliance Locks.

With such a large eco-system from Microsoft, there are so many ways in which the T&C can become an issue. For instance, synching your phone with OneDrive is a very common instance that causes such Compliance Locks with content that may be identified as against their T&C (even if it's not).

Good luck in getting your content back.
I found this link:

Agreed.

Needlessly pessimistic viewpoint from MVG.

If we look at Microsoft's response, it is of the need for better communication on the messages, and not of the act itself.

Microsoft has obligations (not only for consumers) where they need to protect their own, and publishers interests through the use of DRM.

Use use of discs as a licencing tool is an obvious solution in what can become a severe problem to the BC ecosystem.

If a consumer is unable to connect to the internet, or other services such as electricity, they should expect their options to be limited.
