I wasn't talking about advertisements only: a shared/lent product isn't bought - thus is considered a pirated copy?
Should DRM allow "sharing" (like the Zune does) and mimik the current existing patterns people have developed with the physical products OR should we give the producer full control and maximum profit as one copy is fixed to one machine.

BTW Should removing DRM for your husband/wife be called piracy???
