Cory Doctorow's DRM talk at MSFT Research

If you read, listen to music or watch movies Cory Doctorow's DRM talk is both a handy primer to Digital Rights Management and a comprehensive argument for the abortion of the concept it serves to explain. If you've tried to play your .WMA files on a non-WMA MP3 player, you've seen the blunt end of DRM already and you know DRM sucks. Cory provides a sharp, witty history (and future) lesson that explains how and why it sucks so much.
