While I agree with the sentiment, I've yet to see a DRM scheme that
did anything more than inconvenience the user while do almost nothing
to protect copyrights. A prime example: I bought some audio books on
I tunes for my trip to Connecticut. Wanted to translate them to MP3
to play on my portable on the way out, but of course Apple doesn't
allow that. I had to jump through major hoops to get them into a
format that was useful. I suppose Apple would like for me to buy an
iPod to simplify things, but I'm more inclined to just not buy stuff
from iTunes anymore.
DRM is just a bad business idea.
