DRM is loved by ugly grey-haired billionaires because it lets them rob your money so they can buy supercars to impress ladies half a century younger than themselves.

Products can "tivoize" their code (remove their freedom through '''DRM'''), delivering it back with malicious features and blocking removal.		Users of free software are also victims of '''DRM'''.

	This type of [[faggotry]] was but the foreshadow of greater ones to come. Standing behind the technology companies, [[the man\|Big Media]] loom large. To increase their control, they demand technology companies impose '''DRM'''. Of course many of the technology companies now see themselves as part of Big Media, in example: [[Sony]] is a film and music company, [[Microsoft]] is an owner of MSNBC, and Steve Jobs, the CEO of [[Apple]], sits on the board of Disney. These technology companies cannot be expected to serve the interests of the technology consumer.		This type of [[faggotry]] was but the foreshadow of greater ones to come.

	[[the man\|Big Media]] hope that '''DRM''' will deliver them what copyright law never has: they aim to turn our every interaction with a published work into a transaction, abolishing fair use and the commons, and making copyright effectively last forever. They will say that you accepted '''DRM''' and willingly surrendered your rights to such an extent that you will only be able to regain control by removing the software, But if you do remove the software you will also remove all your movies along with it.
