The simple idea behind DRM is to place a model of physical scarcity upon digital abundance. Whether that be encrypted DRM or social DRM, the idea is flawed and needs to be re-evaluated. Old supply and demand economic models do not work in the digital realm, especially when you have essentially an infinite product. I am rapidly becoming convinced that everthing digital should be completely free (if limited) and any payment should occur as a complimentary, voluntary purchase to either add value or gain you a physical object. I can't see any other way forward.
