Whether we call it a DRM file or a "cache", the fact is that a digitally locked file is received on the hard disk. Somewhere in the software on the computer is the key, otherwise you could not view the file on your computer. A technically sophisticated person will take the key, unlock the file, and then share it. The less technically sophisticated users will receive the DRM-free file the same way they always have. This system, like all other DRM systems, only regulate the activities of law abiding citizens by digitally enforcing (often hidden) contract terms. Then again, enforcing hidden contracting terms is itself unenforceable and some of these terms may be illegal. Who are the lawbreakers? Looks like it is Apple (and other DRM companies) yet again.

They are a failing company, they disrespect people and sue their customers --- how stupid can they get?! Well if this article is accurate, then they just found another way. Apple is a falling FAD, yes that's right all of you Mac-heads out there, it SUCKS, use GNU/Linux if you're REAL hacker or power user! It is like sun, but at least sun contributes to Free Software (Open Office, etc). Apple is just an Open Source LEECH! Now don't cry mac-heads! I know the truth hurts, but this 'sh!t' of a company needs to be put out of its misery. Good gracious, Mac users are so few (only about 0.5% in the USA, and MUCH MUCH less world wide) so their 'effect' on the rest of us is minimalized. For you Window users, you better start to learn how the Gimp, and Blender, and Linux and Command line soon ---- since MS Vista is going to be one "hell-of-a-DRM'd" product. They have 1) back doors, 2) built in spyware and virus and keyloggers, and 3) DRM. Whatever you do, whether ETHICAL or not is recorded digitally and sent over the internet to the BSA, RIAA and MPAA. You are not allowed to watch "certain" things on your MONITOR since that too will be hardware and software DRM'd. You've been told about this, so if in the future, you find yourself in an unpleasant situation using Mac or MS, you have only yourself to blame!!! Cheers!
