DRM is a bad thing that will only hurt the honest users.
While I believe people should be compensated for their work, I also
believe that a person who purchases say a music CD should be able to do
anything they want with it short of selling it for profit.
The pirates will always be one 1/2 step behind of any copy protection
scheme the programmers can come up with but they will be there.
