I just realised I've not watched TV in nearly a 6 months so I don't know if I 
should be petitioning for relevant content instead of against DRM. After all 
if it's encrypted tat it's still tat.

Now if they DRM books in some way and force me to wear Microstuff Glasses XP 
to read a book....

By the way anyone see the petition about making Vista cheaper - now that was a 
quick double take moment. http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/VistaOvercharge/

I created one to ask the law be changed to stop OEM licencing in order to 
increase the price of Vista. Hopefully that one will appear in the next few 
days - when it does I'll send a link.
