Comment ESR just isn't relevant (Score -1, Troll) 109

So, honestly... Who gives a flying fuck what ESR has to say? He's on the record as being racist, threatening legitimate political process with violence, and on a personal level, he's just gross. He wrote a book once! Yay! People like the book! Yay! But there's no evidence that he's actually any sort of leader we should rally around or give any time to - he seems like kind of a jerk and an idiot ("Am I the *most* famous developer in the world?" -- ESR, paraphrased). Get this utter shit off my frontpage.

Store Says DRM Causes 3 of 4 Support Calls 155

Posted by kdawson from the cost-shifting dept.
Carter writes "Ars Technica is reporting that Musicload, one of Europe's largest movie stores, has found that 75% of its customer support problems are caused by DRM. Users have frequent problems using the music that they have purchased, which has led Musicload to try selling independent label music without DRM. Artists choosing to abandon DRM in favor of good old-fashioned MP3 have seen 40% growth in sales since December. Good to see someone in the business both 'gets it' and is willing to do something about it."
