1. Comment - After legal fight, 11-year-old ordered to turn over Narnia.mobi domain

   Heh. I just read this post AND the thread below.
   
   At first skim of the above I thought "Gee thats a bit harsh of the estate".
   
   After reading PC_Tool's posts which have explained the situation clearly I now understand C.S.Lewis's actions. Its just funny PC_Tool had to write the same thing so many times to get it through to everyone.
   
   Love the interwebz!

2. Comment - CES Trend #9: Will CE vendors start steering clear of DRM?

   (Jan 2, 2008 - 12:43 AM)

   I have purchased the entire Metallica collection + dvds, hat, belt, posters after owning first the mp3 versions of nearly all of the albums. It all started with one download.
   
   DRM is evil because it treats consumers like criminals. Restricting you to convert or watch the way you like it.
   
   On a similar note (but not quite DRM), you know the ads at the beginning of DVDs? the ones that say "You wouldnt steal a handbag, You wouldnt steal a car, so why steal a movie?" .
   
   Ironically you can't skip these portions of the disc.... unless you have stripped it of its protection.
   
   So who does it punish by forcing a legitimate, honest dvd buyer to watch the junk at the beginning?
