It's an interesting article; this bit is nonsense, though:

Another click might obliterate these same contents and bring civilization to an end
The intertubes are pretty resilient to single clicks. Anyway, in the future, any click that can end civilisation will probably have a dialog that says "Are you sure you want to bring civilisation to an end (Y/N)?".

So, I didn't understand the "fragility" point - perhaps I'm being thick?

He also seemed to think that super-DRM could beat piracy, which I think is nonsense. Convenient access to quality at a fair price beats piracy.
