Businesses love to rant and rave about how DRM "opens up new business models", but all it does is prepare customers for an untimely doom. What happens when the license servers go down? What happens when that business goes bankrupt or decides the servers are not worth maintaining anymore? Basically, there is nothing we can do.
The problem is that these businesses have a fundamental misunderstanding of where the market is headed. Piracy is an unpleasant reality haunting copyright holders, but it is clear indication of how people want to consume content.

Buzz, you are clearly misguided. Piracy is an indication that people are natural thieves and we need our government to step in to control us and the extreme profits of the company that produce the product. This is why I am for Obama, he believes in hope and change and will take the money from the rich (and all incentive to become rich) and give the money to the poor. That is the real issue. Piracy happens because it is what the people want; a transfer of power from the wealthy to the poor; that is why we want Obama. He will help us get what we did not work for.
