Story: Microsoft to delete Sony DRM 'rootkit'
Posted by: Arthur B. (Tuesday 15 November 2005, 9:19 PM)
Jon, the people promoting DRM are not telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. But they have no problem taking your money and not giving but licensing you limited use of some DRM protected content in restricted ways under their own terms and definitions and by means of technology that's not optional. If that somehow leads to problems then you're on your own. Some progress. Less for more.
Did you know that people, at least in the Netherlands but I wouldn't be surprised if in other countries as well, are legally entitled to download, copy, burn whatever music they want as long as it is for personal use only? In return some form of "tax" has been put on every blank medium such as CD-R's.
But sure enough, standing up for the legal rights one already has is ofcourse labelled as criminal behaviour in the eyes of the less informed. As if sales talk is the one and only truth.
