Interesting film, but I doubt if I will be showing it to my iPod owning friends. I don't thnk it expresses the arguments against DRM in a way that they would find relevant or understandable, and seems too "geeky". I fear in many cases it would do the argument more harm than good - people saying "Apple is bad" when they like their Apple products doesn't really cut it.

I think we need to work harder at explaining what we think is wrong with DRM - and to accept that some people won't agree. Many people I've talked to are quite happy with the idea of "pay-per-play" and it needs more than this to explain what wee think is wrong with the concept.
