Paper may have been a form of DRM back in 1807 or something. The analogy is ridiculous and indicates how skewed your thinking has to be to accept digital DRM as a necessary evil. It's a pain in the backside for consumers, it doesn't stop piracy and in many cases makes people go to the pirate bay rather than buy the DRMed item (the reverse of their intention).
Will the publishers learn NOTHING or what happened with the music and movie industries?
