You know, I'd guess that people who couldn't pass an ECDL or CLAIT course would have difficulty working out how to crack DRM. So, if there are so many people in the country that couldn't pass, maybe DRM's not as useless as we all think when it comes to preventing casual copying (the equivalent of "home taping")...

How is saying that there are many (possibly most) people in society, could not pass an ECDL or CLAIT course and this is thus reflected into most professions and areas of life including the media an "accusation" of any sort. It's plain fact, go and visit your local FE college and see howmany grown adults are on basic IT literacy courses and struggling. I work in an FE college library and see these people day in, day out.
