What, me worry?

[Jon Simon]

When people have no moral problem with an activity, they more or less 
ignore laws that outlaw that activity.  Few will have a moral problem 
with breaking DRM or copying media, DMCA or not.  IMHO, all the 
effort pouring into consumer DRM is wasted effort.  It would be much 
better spent on improving interfaces and quality.
