This is pretty much 'preaching to the choir', don't you think? Anyone who's been a regular reader of MaxPC must know by now that DRM is a miserable failure. It causes more problems and doesn't solve any. Legitimate users lose functionality of the product they've legally acquired, and the pirates laugh in the face of the RIAA, MPAA and their like, break whatever DRM 'flavor of the week' is being used and keep pirating. To paraphrase SpazzAttack, the sooner DRM dies a sudden, horrific and nasty death, the better for all electronic entertainment content consumers.
