DRM imposes added costs and needless hassles in my life. For example, I had to buy an additional switching component for my five year old limited input TV because certain DVDs wouldn't play thru the VCR line-in input. Another example, Sony's latest DRM fiasco resulted in a non-tech friend thinking his DVD player was malfunctioning. After seeking solutions from the player manufacturer, Sony, and Best Buy, he returned the DVD in sheer frustration. (Further Sony arrogance is displayed in memory stick format prices above competing format products.) For my part, after owning more than a dozen Sony products, my latest digital camera purchase was NOT SONY. My next TV will not be SONY. My next camcorder will not be Sony. I will not purchase any more Sony-related media. "Thank you" Sony for being a major contributor to DRM overkill.

There's only one solution - Boycott the record cartel.There's only one solution to this idiotic problem - stop buying music from the corrupt and evil Record Company cartel. They crossed the line when they started suing and bankrupting families with small children. I will never buy from any of them again. I still spend as much $ as I ever did on music, but only from independent labels, and only songs with no DRM Where else to get music? Try www.Emusic.com Emusic sells only independent labels, with no DRM. Their prices are actually fair, and they have a tremendous selection (if a bit off the beaten path).You are either part of the solution, or part of the problem. Here are good reasons why YOU should stop supporting the record label cartels: http://downhillbattle.org/reasons/
