I am hugely against DRM (digital rights management). I have been meaning to write a editorial on this for some time, but I just haven’t made it a priority. The bottom line is that I refuse to buy ANY music that contains DRM. This means I mostly buy physical CDs, and only occasionally buy songs online. For instance, when I found out that Dave Matthews Band released Weekend on the Rocks in a DRM free lossless format I happily shelled out $57.99 for the 8 CD collection. I really hope initiatives like these will show the music industry DRM is not where it is at.

Anyway the catalyst for this post: Apparently I was asleep at the wheel yesterday because October 3 was “Day Against DRM,” at least according to Defective By Design. I stumbled
across this You Tube video, which led me to the Defective By Design site.

And a friend sent me this link. Knowing how hardcore anti-DRM he thought I would find it amusing, but I think I find it more encouraging than anything.
