There are many media people living in their London-centric bubble (a.k.amedia-land) who as Andy's email said, are totally ignorant of the basics of modern technology. That isn't an insult, but a fact simply by virtue of the fact that much of the general population couldn't tell you how a PC works either. Those working in the media are no exception.
Besides, if there are meeja prima donnas and wannabe luvvies (on this list or otherwise) that believe that DRM is a long term, workable solution to this "problem", then I couldn't care less if they get their egos bruised a little, and don't see why anyone else should care either.
