Story: Linux 'needs DRM support' for consumer success

Ya know, if consumers would simply put their foot down and stop letting the businesses "tell us" what we have to have there wouldn't be this problem. The way I see our society (here in the U.S.) is that when Uncle bill gates says he's putting DRM in his package and you're gonna like or lump it ... if enough people would have the kahoona's to NOT buy his product, guess what? He's gonna change his mind! It's the same way with gas prices, if enough people want lower prices, they will stop buying it. Enough people stop buying it and looky there, lower gas prices! Isn't it funny how that works? Too bad that American society in general are a bunch of whimps and can't stand the though of either riding with someone or walking ... it truly would make a huge difference! Is WIndows Vista that much better that you want to take the DRM up the hind end just so you can say that you have the latest and greatest? Do you really want the government telling you how to live your life? This is exactly the kind of thing that they are setting you up for. Here, I want to pay you to invade my private space ... sigh ... I can't believe that we supposedly the proud of america are letting this go on ... makes me want to move out of the country as our rights are diminishing before our very eyes and you're all just sitting around watchin it happen like a bunch of stool pigeons.
Sorry, I'm definitely not for the DRM or sensorship which is where it's going to take us. I'm glad that Linux at this point is saying no!
