'They don't have the right to read a book out loud,'
This is probably the most idiotic thing I have heard about copyright in a long time.
My sugestion is why let us read it in the first place ? We'll remember it and so an unauthorized copy will be placed in our head.
Conclusion:
anybody without an approved lobotomy shouldn't be allowed to read !
you'd be amased of what the right size hammer can do to all this "complicated technology"
or how many high tech security systems in the end trigger a simple relay or use normal open as opposed to normal closed circuits.
"it's not that important if you're off by a degree or two in the long run"
I wouldn't want to be in THAT airplane. One degree in the long run means you'll miss the destination with a few hundred km's. And (at least commercial airplanes) use something much closer to a wheel than to a joystick. It's more like a half wheel you can push or pull. AND in the airplane you have instruments telling where the heck you're going - and you're leaving the autopilot do all the work anyway:)
Plainly put DRM encourages piracy. It will never stop somenone from copying music and distributing it on p2p networks. But it will make people turn to pirated content.
Oh, easy, Mr. Lance Ulanoff choose one of the following:
1: - lower quality music - works usually in one player, on one OS - requires you to install crappy software, with bugs - one day it might stop working alltogether - if you change your os/pc/player - than bad luck - you want to listen to it in your car - yeah right - high priced
2: - high quality (up to studio quality on some) - lots of formats to choose from - no additional software required - works on any os/player - free - oh, right, the fat bastards selling No. 1 payed for laws which make it illegal.
I am sure you all will choose No. 1 so stupid *idols* and *stars* will keep having drug money and fat ceo's will keep getting richer for doing nothing.

They have invented this technology long before, end even implemented it in some Intel Pentium processors :)
God forbid the day when my computer decides how accurate my calculations need to be !

that only means that you are watching the surface and miss the meaning

As long as it's bound to a device and DRM-ed this music is extremely LIMITED.
just what business users need: another locked in device to held you hostage to one company. Great !
