Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) is what the media robber barons and their shills are attempting to use to control and restrict the ability of this and future generations to create and enjoy all forms of artistic endeavors: music, literature, films, art, you name it. DRM is one of the most serious threats to human cultural advancement since the Vatican, Charles IX, and various other European rulers tried to control all book publishing in the sixteenth century. This is not a small problem, and it is not going away.

David Berlind at ZDNet relates a story of a Dutch DRM trainwreck, one of a collection he is gathering for posterity.
