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?"

Sir, what you have said is logical and reasonable. Prepare to be modded a troll.
Personally I hate DRM but I think I will find it hard to not accept when I graduate Harvard Law and get hired by the RIAA to try 2 cases per year against people that I rat out b/c they were jerks in college.
I believe I'll start with a few of the professors fond of classical music......
Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling a pig in mud. Soon, you realize the pig is dirty, and he likes it.
