I totally agree with your letter and your position above. I am just wondering if writing to say DRM should not be used is really relevant. I think the FTC is there to regulate things that exist. Then again if we could convince them that DRM restrains free trade will they take a legal anti-DRM stand? I can't see it considering the DMCA.
