Actually, they can not. Basically, my neighbors decide if I have to
use the DRM technology. Because as soon as too many of them use it
ISPs/banks/youtube will just make it mandatory.

I dont't think my neighbors should have that kind of power over me,
and the only way to ensure that seems to be keeping TXT and similar
stuff far away from mainline.
