Yours, is the incorrect, one.
Why, is that comma, there?
I thought, that we had editors, to check, for this sort of thing.
There, fixed those, for you.

I think the idea of a company devoting money and resources to digging up dirt on employees is a little farfetched (not to say that individuals in the company might not do it). But this issue is more a function of the lawyer's bar than than US corporations. All it takes is something bad to happen in the workplace to turn into a 7 figure lawsuit:
"but you should have known your employee would have attacked my client... look at what he posted online"...
"... but this DRM punishes all equally."
I don't think that's generally true. Once it's completely cracked (and it will be) it will be like CD and DVD DRM which disproportionately affects honest people as opposed to the "pirates" it is supposed to thwart. People who are serious about copying music and movies for fun or profit have the knowledge and the means to do so at will. People who want to casually copy music (to make a backup or a mix or burn an owned disc onto an HTPC) are the ones who are more likely to be stopped.
Real is, if you'll excuse the American, the worst piece of proprietary shit I've ever encountered, bar none. It's intrusive, bloated, buggy, and highly incompatible even with itself (try mixing versions). It makes Microsoft Windows Mediaplayer look good!

True, but it does have Annabelle the sheep.
