This might be another little step in the direction of total control over employees / citizens / human mankind. If you look at it seperately it doesn't seem to be a big deal. But try to see it as a part of a bigger picture with DMCA, "Patriot" Act, DRM, TCPA and a million other things it becomes a bit scary, doesn't it?
And of course it is also another example of a company screwing it's employees just because it can.
Why should McDonalds trust it's employees instead of controling them you ask?
Well I have another question for you, why would anyone want to work for such a company that has a long record of screwing it's own employees (and customers)?
McDonalds is just exploiting poor men and women who can't afford loosing their jobs even if they are treated like farm animals. Ask yourself what this says about a society where such things are not only possible but happen every single day...
Might this be the lame excuse for the shift to Digital Restriction only CDs? Because it serves the customer because it doesn't have to be twice as expansive?
Maybe Carmine Caridi knew that leaking a screener copy of 'Something's Gotta Give' would be the only chance someone is going to watch that movie anyway...;-)
I just wish Lucasarts would do some more creative work like they did in the 80ies with titles like Maniac Mansion or Zak McKracken. Today they seem just to wait for other companies to come up with new ideas and concepts so they can make a Star Wars clone out of it.
Why should Apple support WMA at all? Microsoft is their enemy, so why support one of their closed formats? If you want to add further value to your player just support ogg vorbis and FLAC! But don't pump cash into Microsofts pockets 'cause they will know how to use it against you.

Debian world + non-Debian world = whole world? ...did I miss something?
McDonalds the Microsoft of the fast food industry. ;-)
