isn't it a bit hypocritical to say that itunes has found the happy medium when it comes to reconciling drm and ease of use, then say that the reason itunes drm is so great is that it's easily broken ???
i'm also curious why itunes continues to be cited as the argument for drm, when they have actually now begun to sell drm-free mp3s (as does Amazon).

You can't drive it through a schoolyard full of kids. You can't speed through traffic signals. You can't drive on the "wrong" side of the road. Restrictions that most (sane) drivers accept, in order to enjoy the privilege of driving.

i'm sorry, how is that relevant ? you can't beat someone to death with a kindle legally either, but that has nothing to do with drm.

i don't beleive rlauzon was talking about trying to make profit from copyright files, just personal use, which this would not be an example of.

@ Ricky : there is a page in the wiki listing libraries which lend ebooks. some charge a subscription fee, some are free. there are quite a few of them.
