"Let's enforce the consumer's rights and make DRM that gets in the way illegal. When that's clear we can address the piracy issue." -- "Latesigner", 2006-01-11

Yeah, the Isle of Mann - now *they're* trouble-makers.

I thought the problem was too few pirates, leading to global warming (http://venganza.org/) ... right?

I don't have a problem with DRM as long as there's mandatory plain-language full disclosure along with it. Sell whatever subset of what the consumer thinks they're entitled to that you want(*). Let the market decide.

"If you use a Windows computer to play or copy the music on this disk, it will install software on your computer that will prevent copying in more than a few specific ways. The software will hide itself from you, and may not be compatible with DRM software installed by other vendors when you play their discs. Attempting to remove this software may disable your computer's optical (CD, CD-RW, DVD, DVD+RW, etc.) drive.)"

(*) Watch out for collusion laws, though.
