Cory Doctorow: Microsoft Research DRM talk

Pretty interesting, given the rush to figure out DRM.

DRM and software security is at the foundation of Microsoft (and pretty much the rest of the tech industry.)

To drink in the impact of this argument, swith the word "DRM" with "patent" and see how much sense this link makes.

True, a paradigm shift may be needed or inevitable. But the dollars at stake are simply overwhelming and make the impetus to develop DRM essential.
