I suspect that eventually the media companies will get what they want, and all the heavily promoted, produced, big-label music, movies, and other media will be DRM'ed to death. Oh well. Most of that music and media isn't that great anyway. I'll just quit buying it.

Meanwhile, I'll keep listening to my existing (large!) music collection, buying obscure second-hand cd's, renting DVDs every now and then, and completely ignoring the DRM'ed media industry. I'll be listening to (and playing) live music in local coffee shops and pubs, and supporting bands that will continue to sell their CDs without big label support and without DRM. I've been getting along fine without commercial software for 5 years now... free software does everything I need. I expect I'll get along fine without commercial media too.
