Excellent article and provides plenty of food for thought. Consumers and publishers are being forced to use DRM because legislation provides for its use. The DMCA is inherently backward legislation set up to protect the rich from the poor people. The only way to defeat DRM technologies is to opt out, and write letters to your government damning DMCA and DRM and ask that the legislation be repealed. It has already been rearing its ugly head in all venues. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Welcome to the future seems a bit of a copout. You should perhaps consider advising people of their options, and promote those.
