  1. Oh the irony by brw215 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The giant irony here:

    1) The majority of people "outraged" by this are the file swappers.

    2) If it were not for these same people, media companies would never have DRMed their content.

    It is the /.ers who brought DRM into the mainstream. , not the media companies.
