Yeah seriously...there are so many issues with DRM that are not clear cut and have yet to be worked out properly. Competing ideas with completely different strategies does not bode well with me. As a consumer the idea is absurd until something stable, legal, AND FAIR is implemented. Until then I don't even want to see this issue again on this list because it is moot. How many DRM prodcts support Linux or even plan to...yeah...most of them are win32 and have no plans for even Macs nevermind Linux...
