If I happen to believe that traditional All Rights Reserved is  
inconvenient but not Evil, because there is still Fair Use (or  
similar explicit rights in Europe) and viewing the work is  
unrestricted, but TPM is both inconvenient and Evil, because there's  
no Fair Use and viewing is restricted.
