Apple's DRM Is Bad For Consumers and Business

BoredStiff writes "Cory Doctorow, noted sci-fi writer and Boing Boing editor, marshals a strong argument against digital rights management in a recent InformationWeek article. His assertion is that there's no good DRM and that Apple's copy-protection technology makes media companies into its servants. Other copy-protection technologies, like Blu-Ray and HD-DVD, are just as bad."

Aggressively beating one's self on the head repeatedly with a blunt object is not good for you!

This subject is being beaten to death can we move along to another story already? There are those on the iTunes bandwagon, then there are those that chose not to jump on the iTunes bandwagon. Good grief what's next? Debate the finer arguments of smoking vs non-smoking in public? Wait bad idea ... smoking around non-smokers causes them to die too.
