These kinds of comments always baffle me. Why assume that the alternative to DRM is for all authors and artists to go broke? You speak as though there are obviously no other solutions when there are. It's incredibly short-sighted and uncreative to assume that DRM, or for that matter, all restrictions created by content providers, are naturally the best and only way for quality content to proliferate. If that were the case, how would you explain the success of Cory Doctorow as a best-selling author? I recommend you watch Cory Doctorow's lecture - http://www.q2cfestival.com/play.php?lecture_id=7748
