Hunger in our souls?

Hunger in our souls?

Given a suitable "open market," the CDT believes that DRM can "enable" the flow of digital content we all hunger for in our souls without making life overly frustrating for us "consumers."

HOW DARE YOU *ASSUME* ON MY BEHALF. You really *do* make an "ass of u and me". Actually, it's not clear whether the CDT really does assume or if LWT is putting words in their mouths, but is it really true at all?

In my house, the ONLY person, in the normal course of events, who turns the TV on is my wife. Indeed, when it's on it often drives me out of the room - for most of my life I've never had a tv, I've never missed it, and if it weren't for my family, I'd junk the ones we've got tomorrow.

Likewise, the speakers on my computer are almost always turned off. The main reason for having a soundcard is so my daughter can *compose* with it.

It's true of a fair bit of my family, and it's probably true of a lot of other people, but already my (legally purchased) CD collection is far too large for me to listen to, and anyway, I prefer free-to-air talk-radio. About 5% of the UK doesn't own a TV - almost all from choice. Add in the people who never switch it on and we could probably double that number. That's a sizeable minority who DON'T hanker for all this DRM crap...

Cheers,
