U.K. Group Wants DRM'd Media Labeled

peterfa writes "The BBC reports that the U.K. 'All Party Parliamentary Internet Group' wants companies to label their DRMed products. Consumers will see a label on the product before they buy. The label will spell out clearly just how easy it is to copy media, and what they can and cannot do. This is in response to Sony BMG and their virus-like DRM. The group claims the industry is turning media into a rent system, rather than a purchase system."

    Does anyone know what I can do to make Slashdot use a serif based font for the comments? This sans-serif font is making it hard to read anything where there is a large amount of text. I am using Firefox, so something that works with that would be handy.
