"Rm -rf" would mark the block as empty, and unless the programmer hasn't written anything new, he should be able to recover nearly all of the data. Something about the story feels weird.
As a heads up, "unless" should be "if" or "hasn't written anything new" should be "has written something new."

Let me ask you, what do you think the purpose of DRM is? Go up to a dozen people on the street and ask them the same thing. Nearly all of them will tell you DRM is to prevent media theft.
Actually, nearly all of them will tell you they have no idea what DRM is, much less what it's intended to do. I personally think that's a bigger problem, but it's also reality.
Their release about how customers want unlimited plans (irony there, considering their bandwidth throttling) is all roses for now, but once folks are converted over, I don't expect the "unlimited" wording to stay around long. At some point soon after, releases will come out about how abusers of the system are using more than their fair share of texts so they will redefine their unlimited plan to be good for up to, say, 1000 messages a month. Yay - twice the profit! The cycle of "Customers want unlimited! The sky is falling; customers are using what we sold them!" is completely predictable at this point.
