Just imagine: 1. You cannot copy your favorite software for security purposes because it is DRMd. Then when the right to copy freely arrives, after copyright expires in about 100 years, the right to copy is totally useless, but then, still the author of "History of Early 21st. Century Programming" cannot copy the program even for academic research purposes because it is DRMd. 2. You, a music teacher, buy the best recording made of a public domain work, your favorite. It is DRMd. So there you have it, a public domain work that is not in the public domain for you to copy for your music students. I wonder, what were legislators that approved these nonsense rules thinking? Rafael Venegas http://www.gvenegas.com DRM on top of copyright duration is totally senseless.
