Piracy Must Pay
,----[ Quote ]
| Real piracy, as in bad guys in boats attacking merchantmen for the cargo or
| seizing passengers to hold for ransom. The incidents of piracy worldwide have
| risen to the point that there is now on average one per day someplace.

When DRM detonates your music collection
,----[ Quote ]
| It is all down to the digital rights management (DRM) software that Microsoft
| has embedded in all its music downloads to combat illegal file-sharing. For
| DRM to work it needs a central computer to keep a live record of who has
| registered which songs to which computers. The problem is that the main
| server is now being turned off as the company wants to sell downloads with a
| new type of DRM. How odd that the old system was marketed as PlaysForSure.
