- "According to the court, CSS (the DRM on DVDs) no longer achieves its protection objective. The court relied on two expert witnesses and said that "since a Norwegian hacker succeeded in circumventing CSS protection used in DVDs in 1999, end-users have been able to get with ease tens of similar circumventing software from the Internet even free of charge. Some operating systems come with this kind of software pre-installed." Thus, the court concluded that "CSS protection can no longer be held 'effective' as defined in law.""
So I hope this means that Hollywood will stop picking on Canada for being the supposed leader in movie piracy and start picking on Finland now.

it looks like DRM infected media is close to becoming obsolete, at least in the digital music world
(insert wild screaming here)
EMI goes DRM-free at iTunes (and all of it's other digital distribution channels) this week!
I've been using eMusic for my digital downloads lately. They've got awesome indie material that you can legally buy - with NO DRM - at very reasonable rates.
Current Finds:
TupperWare - Benton Insel Glitch techno with a very European feel to it.
Artifical Perfect Cool industrial album, parts with Gary Numan, some female vocals. Solidly influenced by Nine Inch Nails.
Good stuff!
