My *argument*, such that it is at this time, is that holier-than-thou statements and snide comments about "Hollywood placebos" have no place in a technical discussion - we already know that Ian and his gang think that "DRM is evil", but whether you like it or not, not everyone shares your opinion on this topic. Less rhetoric and more technical discussion would be appreciated - unless of course you *want* to engage in mud-slinging... JF
