DRM Insanity

Cory Doctorow, an employee of the EFF as well as a Sci-Fi writer, recently gave a speech to Microsoft employees about DRM. The full speech can be found here. This is one of the best writings about the absurdity that DRM has become that I've read. It also explains how it works and why there are major difficulties getting it to work as they (the media companies) envision it will. Cory's blog can be found at craphound.com (very strange name btw...).

Go ahead... give it a read, it quite interesting. I even hear he is giving similar speeches around the country at different college campuses and such. I hope he comes around this part of the country, but seems unlikely.
