I read an interestingly positioned take on DRM (Digitial Rights Management) today and thought it might be interesting to some of you as I know you are currently buying music and such from online stores. Online stores almost unilaterally use DRM on those files you’re buying, in case you were wondering. Apple’s ITunes store is right there at the top of the guilty list. It is interesting because it takes a look at how DRM actually hurts the consumer and offers nothing in return.
If you’re curious, its a simple 2-page article – its worth a quick read even to just gain awareness of some of the issues going on with DRM and electronic consumption.
