I once had a customer call and inform me that his monitor must be infected with a virus, because every computer in his office he plugged the monitor into became infected.

Despite all assurances to the contrary I was unable to convince him of the (more likely correct) alternative explanations.

Lets get rid of that clunky old gas tax in favor of tracking every vehicle in the state's mileage by a state mandated GPS tracking device!

... Ineffective, yes. Unreasonable... no.

Apple's DRM satisfies the music industry's insistence on some sort of "lock" on their music, however, should one desire to use their music in any other format, you just burn it to CD, and rip it into whatever format you desire, and you never even violate a term of use. All you need is a CD burner and less than $.20 of media.

DRM is bad, but Apple's iTunes Music DRM is IMO done right.
