DRM is easy enough to strip off of music from iTunes, but why would you want it anyway. The real problem is that they are charging you for low bitrate crap. I can just go bit torrent or get stuff off of new groups if I wanted to that is ripped at a higher bitrate. And whats the deal with me not being able to re-download stuff that I bought if I deleted it!? They have a record of what you purchased, its a simple database field for crying out loud! I like how the wii does the VC, I pay a decent price for a game, it belongs to me, and I can delete it and re-download it as many times as I want to. Steam/Valve has also done an excellent way of protecting their stuff without screwing over the customer.
