DRM and me

If you don't know what DRM is, here is the wiki page.

I am a very strong opponent of DRM (Digital Rights Management) from the beginning. It is a double edged sword. It is bad for individuals and good for business. Businesses love this technology since it allows them to control content to the extent of stopping the fair use of the copy righted material and makes consumers pay for the same content many times. The technology itself can drive monopoly and vendor lock-in. It also takes away the freedom that we consumers used to have about the content we purchased. Now I cannot back up my music files between my desktop and laptop and listen on both. By any measure, it is evil and I will never buy anything that has DRM and encourage it.
