DRM is a negative for those of us who want to download a/v and game content and play it on any hardware medium. The point of DRM is security for both corporations AND the consumers. Look up the word security http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=security.
Before you flame me understand that those of us who have the ability to download a/v and game content and play it on any hardware medium, are neither consumers nor corporations. We are hackers(in the traditional meaning). We are research scientists. We are hardware geeks. We are computer nerds. We are phreakers. We are modern explorers. We are thinking out-of-the-box. We are marching to the beat of our own drummer. We are reality engineers.
So, quite whining about the plight of the flock. They need the shepherd to guide them. Let the shepherd benefit from his work. However, when your expedition finds a new type of greener grass make sure you defend it and then charge the shepherds a premium to graze their flocks on your grass.
