A Five Minute Guide to Opposing DRM (Linux Journal)

I don't agree that the reasons for dislike are seldom, or unclearly stated.

• DRM destroys device independence.
• DRM restricts *USE* not just copying.

• DRM denies fair use.
• DRM denies using material where the copyright has expired.
• DRM makes piracy *more* attractive, as it makes the pirated goods arguably better than the legally bougth goods.
