1) Buy DRM 2) Get Shafted

[sparr]

Ars has the latest story of DRM gone bad. Yahoo is taking their music DRM key servers offline. I know, "nobody" cares. But this is yet another in a long string of cases of customers getting screwed out of being able to listen to (or watch) media they paid for. You don't care now, but when the iTunes store revokes the keys that let you listen to all the music you "bought", or Sony disables your Blu-Ray player, then maybe it will hit home. Don't say I didn't warn you.

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
