We all need to resist DRM.
We are the Borg, we will assimilate you. Just replace Borg with DRM. It is insidious and evil. It is part of a vast conspiracy. When all of your music and video is under DRM from a closed source, then you will have to use their software and approved hardware to access it. I expect that we will be assimilated, but I intend to resist as long as I can. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
