I seem to remember you writing another pathetic attempt at insulting my on this post.

I was going to refer to your Unicorn post and retaliate but since you're displaying your cowardice and emotional instability by retracting the insult I will refrain from chopping you up once again.

Most of it is hooey. DRM is not a bad thing. It provides protection where none would otherwise exist. The fact is that there is more information available now then anyone ever dreamed to have access to. In order to avoid anarchy, you need controls. While I agree the current controls are crude and inadequate, they are necessary until something better comes along.

This group of 'intellectuals' want their cake and to eat it too. Not happening, so get used to it.

The old business model is dead, and they refuse to let it go. That's why stuff is getting bogged down with more of the crude and inadequate controls, which just end up restricting a lot of legal uses of the media.
