Yet another thread that Leo has derailed with his BS. You don't like DRM. WE ALL GET IT. PLEASE MOVE ON. J. On Sun, Oct 26, 2008 at 3:23 PM, Leo Mauler <webgiant@yahoo.com> wrote:
Speaking of stupid and exaggerated claims, when you can establish that permitting DRM sales on iTunes will occasionally save lives in the way that a car being able to exceed the posted speed limit can manage, you can make this otherwise outlandish analogy stick. There are all kinds of legal and/or lifesaving uses to which a vehicle which can exceed posted speed limits can be put, such as for a private citizen to get a wounded child to a hospital from a rural location. There is no such lifesaving use for DRM.
