customer is always wrong

EFF's new The Customer Is Always Wrong: A User's Guide to DRM in Online Music is an interesting read.

Imagine if Tower Records sold you a CD, but then, a few months later, knocked on your door and replaced the CD with one that you can't play in your car. Would you still feel like you "owned" the CD?

i do not buy music from online music stores for obvious reasons; i would however consider buying music from magnatune. they are not evil. [blog]

sum, ergo cogito.

[i am, therefore i think borrowed from shermer's skeptics society.]

Comments:

Very interesting — and another reason to read Lawrence Lessig' Free Culture.

I've commented on Lessig's work in several places on my weblog, for example here.
