There's just something counter-intuitive about DRM and FOSS in the same sentence...
Personally, I'm old school. When I bought a tape or record, I owned it and could do what I wished to. I could dub a backup, no questions asked, as long as I wasn't making more than one and trying to sell other copies. I still feel like that when I do pay for a song (which I haven't done in a while - more on that in a bit). I should be able to make what ever copies are necessary for me to enjoy my music... which includes being able to burn to my CD and have it on my laptop or mp3 player at the same time.
In all honesty, I have been so unimpressed with the main-stream music world for so long that I have stuck with indie music, such as Jamendo and Magnatune. Especially Jamendo, as it's free. No DRM is involved - this is a selling point, and I honestly have enjoyed getting gigs of music without all of the theatrics involved.

My 14 year old son and I watched it yesterday.
It was definitely worth the money, and there was some crying in the audience (those who see the movie will now the moment I’m talking about when you see it), but there was genuine pride in seeing our military portrayed as they should be; imperfect heroes.
Absolutely go see this one. Occasionally,Hollywood does something right despite their best efforts, you may as well reward them for it:)

I am surprised that came out of Lubbock. But it does go to show how far the left hates her.
At least here, the hypocrisy is demonstrated in full force: "Go back to the house and say nothing while raising your children." That's Feminism for you.

"...for the U.S. Senate from Delaware, Christine O'Donnell, whose open ignorance or misreading of the First Amendments guarantee of separation of church and state--"You're telling me that's in the First Amendment?"--caused a 10-alarm fire on the airwaves and Internet."
Even in Forbes, the lack of civic understanding exposes itself.
