Today, October 3, has been declared the International Day Against DRM, a day for those who believe DRM is no good for consumers, no good for business, and no good for artists and other content creators to stand up and say no.
DefectiveByDesign.org is your Day Against DRM headquarters and has
ten things you can do today to spread the word, and Boing Boing
has even more. Even if you don't think DRM is so bad, today is a great day to step back, think about how you use digital media, and learn more about digital rights management and how it affects you and how it will in the future. Viva la educación!

How about free all the shits and quit bitching on us pirates ?
DRM only restrict those people who get their music from official source, if we want THE music we'll find it from our own source, so don't even bother with DRM encryptions.
And just for the record, Vista sucks. How bad one might wonder, it sucked so bad even if Microsoft send me a Ultimate version of it on DVD I'll dump it in the trash still.
