DRM is dying
...about... f'ing... time!

Amazon and Apple are leading the way into a new, DRM-free reality.
If only this had happened before HDCP fucked everything up... (look it up)
DRM is evil. As one of the respondants on the page said, you can't simultaneously deliver content to someone and restrict their access to it. Once you give them the content, the jig is up (cryptographically speaking). The result of the content production conglomerates trying to solve this impossible pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps problem is the utter DRM cluterfuck we have today.
Hopefully before long, the root of all evil -- the DMCA -- will fall... dare we hope?
