Or buy from one of the many non-DRM stores now available. DRM or piracy are not the only options anymore.

I spent more time trying to get an audible.com audio book playing than it took to listen to the book. I have lost every other piece of DRM-locked music I have paid for.

Everything breaks, so what happens when we wire the world on the sort of massive scale being proposed and every day is more irritating than the next? Probably what will happen is that people will just walk away from the entire project damning it first with market insignificance and if that doesn’t work then rendering it meaningless with government regulation. It’s worth at least talking about.

2008.10.09 - 538 Palin Rally, Wilmington-33 (via Brett 538)

Comments (View)

Palin showed she was capable of talking specifics, but only when breaking down the exact whens and wheres of Obama meeting Ayers, and who said what when, on what interview. Very, very detailed. It was jarring — the absence of detailed economic discussion. Most people think we’re heading for another depression. I think it works well on people already sold on voting Republican but not as well on undecided voters or independents.
