Why would you actuially pay good money for a system which limits what you can do with your music - when there are countless ways to use music, and many which have not even been thought of yet?
Why would you risk the DRM rules changing to your disadvantage, such that your music is essentially locked into a single device, or can not be played on other PCs?
I simply can not understand it. If you simply refuse to buy such stupid products, then manufacturers will stop making them.
If you tell sales people that you will not purchase a device with any kind of built in DRM, and purchase a DRM-free player, then very quickly, the DRM-infected players will stop being sold.
I really can't understand it.
It doesn't matter that an iPod is cool (Frankly, I think they're junk - but that's just me.) because cool doesn't cut it when you can't do what you want with your music. Having the theoretical ability to get the DRM off your music is NOT the point. Only Hackers and Criminals do that

DOES THAT SOUND LIKE A GOOD IDEA?
No, not only does the DMCA suck gorilla testicles, but it turns any legitimate attempt to control YOUR OWN MUSIC into a crime punishable by years in jail. Good one.
