subject: Re: EMI drops DRM on iTunes

From: Gary Britt 

Some idiots on CNBC were discussing this right after a report that stated
the obvious that 90% of music sold didn't have DRM because CD's don't have
DRM.  Cut to anchors at desk looking dumbfounded and saying, but now
they'll be able to share these non-DRM files with anybody??  I bet these
idiots have no clue that songs can be ripped from CD's and shared with
anybody already!!!!!

Morons, I had to change the channel to keep myself from throwing a book
through the TV.
