Digital Rights Management is an attempt to control the flow of information over the Internet! The biggest problem is the big companies don't want to change their business models. They are stuck back when they could control the hardware, software, and format. Now you can change your computer hardware, operating system, and codecs. You no longer have a small library of physical media, but a whole digital network.
