I love how they make it sound like Apple's recent dumping of DRM was an embrace of some form of DRM that would work on any and all devices: "Digital Rights Management (DRM), properly applied, also has a role (i.e. where it allows users to access content on any device that they own, rather than being device limited – which is the paradigm that the film industry has encouraged and one that, in music, Apple's iTunes has now embraced, in a welcome recent co-operation between rights-owners and a device/ distributor)." (page 43)
I guess you could argue that no DRM is the only proper application of DRM, but even then that sentence seems really wrong - since when has the film industry been behind a form of DRM that works on any and all devices?.
