Within 10 years, corporate lobbyists will have managed to buy a federal law or two that negates this completely. Or, barring that, at least allows companies to sue former employees into bankruptcy with impunity, which is practically the same thing.
Sorry to shatter everyones jackoff fantasy. Oh, and just to be cruel, I'll add this... the tech corporations aren't against DRM (the customer ultimately pays for it, after all), they're just biding their time until they come up with a DRM strategy that maximizes any profit or royalties that they'd recieve.
