> http://garage.docsearls.com/node/668
> "I didn't like this piece because it's pro-DRM. For example, it
> doesn't visit the reasons why millions of people "steal"
> recordings.... And there are the roadblocks and other frictions that
> the record industry has created to "protect" what is essentially
> unprotectable, while avoiding creative approaches to participation in
> a marketplace where the demand side has as much power to supply as the
> old supply side."
