Heh... I wouldn't quite go that far. I'm more specifically objecting to the one-sided tone of the articles, and find that some of the characterizations by the authors of those two articles are slightly absurd and ignorant.

True. Hopefully that aspect will improve if a more viable loaning situation for individuals becomes more common.

Then again, I can't "loan" my Atari 2600 cartridge simultaneously to 1 million of my closest Intarnet pals; i.e. it may not be ideal, but it does make sense that a DRM system will be more restrictive. And some DRM schemes do allow for better forms of sharing and fair use (e.g. Fairplay).
