European DRM News
burgburgburg writes "Two new fronts opening in the battles over digital rights management. First: news.com is reporting how French authorities are investigating EMI France and music retailer Fnac over anticopying technology included on CDs that allegedly renders them unplayable on some systems. The investigation began after the Bureau of Competition's antifraud unit (DDCCRF) received complaints from a consumer group known as UFC-Que Choisir. Second: BusinessWeek reports that the EC is investigating Microsoft to make sure that they don't illegally dominate the field of digital rights management. Regulators have told Microsoft and its partner Time Warner that they are looking into their plan to acquire the company ContentGuard, which makes DRM software because of concerns that it will create or strengthen Microsoft dominance of the field."

so i buy like 6 loose mushrooms, nothing special, and a few other items
he looks up the code for the mushrooms, plugs in fucking SHITAKE mushrooms. they ring up as $2.40. i look at the screen like 'what the fuck?' if i wanted to pay that much for mushrooms i would have gotten the fucking 1 pound box of mushrooms. he doesn't seem to realize there's a problem.
needless to say, i'm writing a letter and getting him fired!
