Wired News: Reasons to Love Open-Source DRM
I don’t know if I’d agree with the title of the above article. Perhaps “Reasons to hate DRM less” would be more accurate. I don’t see this taking off unless either Microsoft or Apple backs it, but it’s a neat idea.
Due to a few jerks that keep comment spamming my site, I’m now moderating all comments. You don’t have to register, but you may have to wait to see the comments you post. I’ve just deleted the spam up until now, but it’s really starting to get on my nerves. As a warning to any would be spammers, I’ll be permanently banning the IPs of anyone submitting comment spam to this site, so you’ve been warned.
