That's a good point - individuals can opt-in to as much lockdown as they like.

I definitely feel better about social DRM from a trust point of view - it doesn't seem as customer-hostile as the other sort. And I'm sure everyone knows that I'm not a fan of regular DRM ;-) But I think the downsides of any method should be considered.
