[clue-talk] Interesting boing boing blog entry on DRM

[Sean LeBlanc]

This is distantly related to my other recent post. I thought some would find
this interesting. Has anyone else noticed how often the word "consumer"
replaces the word "customer"?

I'm glad I read this if no other reason than this:

	Chris likes the iTunes Music Store, calling it a success, but it's got the
	same problems as the Media Center and all the other DRM devices. The record
	labels can demand that Apple selectively break your music player, removing
	features based on secret negotiations, long after you've made your
	purchases. Apple will even force "updates" on you that removes features that
	you've chosen to add to your device, shutting you out of listening to your
	own music on the player you shelled out good money for.
