Is it awash in this case though? Very rarely have I read comments on HN in favor of DRM and restricting users' rights.

In fact, HN in this sense is a bubble where people seem to agree with me on this issue, often misleading me into the belief most people are aware about the war on users' rights...

Have the same feeling, which of course might not accurately reflect reality. But boy, this place can really make people force that "pristine me vs unethical you all" spirit.

Just think about it, GP preemptively felt the need to shame virtual users having a different opinion.
