 Well here is an interesting development in this issue

http://news-info.wustl.edu/news/page/normal/8743.html

 All of us would agree on the point that DRM was used
by   Steve Jobs to gain edge over competitors and he
failed to do so. But if DRM goes away it is for the
good for technology consumers as a whole.
 Also, we need to ensure that if DRM goes, we dont see
something more draconian in its place. We do not want
POTA to replace TADA :-)

[ilugd] ezine - hot topic of the month

2007-02-09 Thread Kenneth Gonsalves
hi,

i propose that the ezine has an article called 'Hot topic of the  
month'. For this purpose I have put a framework on the ezine wiki at:

http://www.lug-delhi.org/wiki/HotTopic

I request all those who expressed their opinions on this list to  
preserve their opinions for posterity in the ezine wiki. Add what you  
feel - dont go around deleting what others add. The editors will, of  
course, make it into final shape.
