Electronic Frountier Foundation European Affairs Coordinator Cory Doctorow visited Microsoft last week to ask the tech giant to stand up to the entertainment industry and make a media player that will play all the media you want it to.
In his speech, Doctorow made five main arguments against investing
in digital rights management (DRM) systems:
1. DRM systems don't work.
2. DRM systems are bad for society.
3. DRM systems are bad for business.
4. DRM systems are bad for artists.
5. DRM is a bad business move for Microsoft.
Theoretically this should be of some interest to anyone who watches movies and listen to music. But it's quite long so some may fall asleep ;)
There's no pictures! :(

Good read that Smilo - very interesting. A strong and logical argument.
