Effectively, DRM'ed = DRM-free for ethical friends of Alf.
That would be strike 2 for vendors of encryption DRM on digital sales, no?

There is a product called PlayLater which is a DVR for streamed media. The files that are created with PlayLater are unprotected MP4 files excepted that each begins with a screen that says who used the software to create the file.
This allows for time shifting, place shifting, and format shifting, but discourages sharing.
I think this is a very reasonable implementation of fair use.
