Uh, only when afflicted without your agreement. Other than that, it is merely crippling the quality of available choices. It's not like this is unprecedented: try buying any appliance built to last 40 years. The choice is gone. You'll only get stuff that is _designed_ to be junk after few years, at the cost of sustainable resources. DRM is just putting into practice for software what has been the rule for hardware: built-in self-destruction. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Gnu-misc-discuss mailing list Gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
