What? Am I the only one that missed the news reports of "major" 
producers, including I believe Sony, giving up on a lot of the DRM and 
pulling it from products, because it a) pissed off customers, b) didn't 
work anyway, and probably c), in sony's case, got them in serious damn 
trouble when they had something that "could" work, but created worse 
security issues than it solved?

Must have completely imagined this trend, which is why iToons also 
mentioned recently considering (or already) abandoning it. lol
