I think this is a good indicator of where Linux is at in a lot of ways. It's promising and a great alternative--except that it's still not especially friendly for anyone who isn't an uber-tech. I'd like to run Linux on my desktop and laptop but I get frustrated trying to configure things every time.
That's a great article. We already know that no matter what approach is used it will ultimately end up cracked. And I think he's right that the more open the software, the easier it is to use. I know I've purchased MANY CDs after downloading and listening to music. Media outlets just need to catch up with the times and stop struggling against something futile.;)
