When Would You Accept DRM?

twigles asks: "Following on the heels of Apple closing DVD Jon's end run around its DRM and a British TV station offering DRM'd downloads it seems fair to ask, what DRM would you accept as a consumer? Personally, I take the view that if a song, movie, book, etc. is DRM'd then it isn't truly mine. On the other hand, if a particular piece of digital media is priced correctly (a la' rental fee) would that be satisfactory, or do you feel that DRM in any form is ridiculous?"

Mixtapes? You mean music that you copied and gave to a friend whilst keeping the original for yourself? That's a breach of copyright. And you wonder why copyright holders are keen on DRM? You wonder why they don't just trust you?

You know, sometimes talking about Nazis is necessary. Like, say, when you have an evil monopolistic organization waging a campaign against free speech...
