your link is rubbish, or at the very least has significant falsehoods.
You know how I know this? Because:
Say you've just bought Pink Floyd's “The Dark Side of the Moon”, released as a Super Audio CD (SACD) in its 30th anniversary edition in 2003, and you want to play it under Vista. Since the S/PDIF link to your amplifier/speakers is regarded as insecure for playing the SA content, Vista disables it, and you end up hearing a performance by Marcel Marceau instead of Pink Floyd.
Is blatantly false. I regularly play ALL my DRM/nonDRM/DVD content over "non-secure" outputs. In fact, I'm doing it right now. SO DRM is NOT hurting me.
I used to be a free media peacenik groupie. I used to download hordes of music thinking that I'm sticking it to the man. I used to think all corporations were EVIL EVIL faceless oragnizations, until I got into the real world. DRM is a GOOD thing. It protects the rights of those who rely on intellectual property to turn a profit. I happen to be in a field where intellectual property is what I get paid for.
