Posted by michael on from the skin-deep dept.

Graff writes "This was found on SiliconValley.com. In an article for the Mercury News, Dan Gillmor talks about how Apple is still standing firm against the Digital Rights Management (DRM) efforts which the entertainment industry is trying to force on the public. There's also another article on the fight for our digital rights in Congress."

    Finally, well, if Apple pisses the studios off enough, we will see some OTHER brand of computer in the movies besides Apple!

    Yes, I know about the "guest appearances" of SGI in "Twister" and others, but this may lead to more "reality" in my action movies. Like using a Cpmpaq to upload a virus to aliens ;-)

    That was worded inprecisely. It should have read 'Microsoft's Senators and Represnetatives' instead. Unfortunatly they're up against Senator Disney and Representative Sony.
