good, succinct article at wired that elegantly expresses what i feel is the core problem with the while concept of DRM (digital rights management): "We're screwed. Not because we MP3 cowboys and cowgirls will not have to pay for content we've been 'stealing.' No, we're screwed because we're undercutting the basis of our shared intellectual and creative lives. For us to talk, argue, try out ideas, tear down and build up thoughts, assimilate and appropriate concepts - heck, just to be together in public - we have to grant all sorts of leeway. That's how ideas breed, how cultures get built."
