Has anyone read this "Cost Analysis of Windows Vista Content Protection"? It makes for very sobering reading:

That was a depressing read... Corporate greed spawns DRM spawns
content degradation or even system function degradation for the end

up being cracked anyways. It is like a "death spiral" - no solution
in sight.
