Apple's DRM Is Bad For Consumers and Business

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the one-man's-soapbox dept.

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."

    Move along folks, nothing to see here. DRM was found to be "bad" for the consumer YEARS ago. Unfortunately, money talks.
