DRM

DRM or Digital Rights Management has gotten a bad reputation lately, and rightfully so. Music/Movie/Game companies putting unreasonable restrictions on their products such that they become unusable to the rightful purchaser. Technology such as FairPlay which serves only to annoy legitimate purchasers, but doesn't actually stop determined people from copying music (see PlayFair, now QTFairUse) .

Anyway, the real point of this post is to point out a particularly creative approach to DRM, education. Weird Al's "Don't Download This Song".



Of course, If you haven't already, some of his other songs are good too.

Happy Watching /Listening, and Remember: No Stealing Music!
