So, ignoring the gratuitous personal ad hominem attack, the actual answer to the question is "no".
Here's an interesting article:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3545839.stm
"The European Parliament has passed an anti-piracy law, covering everything from handbags to music downloads. [...]
"The European law was shepherded through the European Parliament by MEP Janelly Fourtou, wife of Jean-Rene Fourtou who is boss of media giant Vivendi Universal."
Hmm, would it be cynical to suggest a conflict of interests??
Also: "In November, the EU copyright directive came into force in the UK which put many things people are used to doing with music, such as copying tracks to an MP3 player, fell into a legal grey area."
Should you have to buy the music every time you want to use it on a different playing system?
