I've written about DRM before. I hate it. It is the spawn of the devil. It is the tool that tells you "Hey, you know that product you just spent good money to buy? Well yeah, you will never really own it".
The guys over at Ecal decided to demonstrate DRM by making a chair that can only be sat on 8 times before the joints melt and the thing falls apart. You can view the video on Gizmodo.
Ridiculous? Absolutely. But it does show how DRM can destroy something you believe is yours.
So my advice is to avoid anything with DRM built-in, until the perpetrators of it get the message. Hop over to Defective by Design and read up on the alternatives.
