Maybe DRM isn't wrong, maybe its "objectives are contradictory." I'm just saying: Yea, I think it will be forced on us. Yes, I do believe it will be in our future. I'm sure it will be abused. I'm sure aspects of it will get under my skin. I'm not in love with the idea. But IF it was mainstream, you all would use it to protect your own stuff. Thats all I'm saying.
