Will DRM eat your baby?
Cory Doctorow makes a solid point about DRM and your consumer electronic devices in this article posted on BoingBoing.

The media device you buy today will not be the same device you have next year. Companies like Microsoft and Apple, eager to make headway in the digital media market, cave to content producers, and regularly remove features from products at their insistence. EULAs grant these vendors broad powers to make those modifications without the need for further consent from the devices owner. Do you *really* own your media device or computer? You own the hardware, but the software that makes those devices do useful things isn't yours.

Make it your software!
Don't like what your hearing? Install Linux on your computer (try fedora or ubuntu), or Linux for your iPod.
