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?"

    Not to go all Roswell on everyone...

    Now, let's just wait and see if the ubiquitous "THEY" start trying to apply some DRM-like techniques to books, newspapers, magazines, pamphlets, speech, etc...
