Wal-Mart Ends DRM Support 231

An anonymous reader writes "So, you thought you did well to support the fledgling music industry by purchasing your tracks legally from the Wal-Mart store? Well, forget about moving these tracks to a new PC! Since they started selling DRM-free tracks last year, there's no money to be made in maintaining the DRM support systems, and in fact, support is being shut down. Make sure you circumvent the restrictions by burning the tracks to an old-fashioned CD before Wal-mart 'will no longer be able to assist with digital rights management issues for protected WMA files purchased from Walmart.com.' Support ends October 9th."

Is there any way in the USA for the people to legally take back their own government?

Yes, it's called voting. Seriously though, personally I find this as just more evidence that government should be smaller, less powerful, and less intrusive (think libertarian). If there is little power given to the government, then you will reduce corruption, special interests, and lobbyist influences.
