<description><![CDATA[Corydon posted : Exactly why I still buy CDs.  No DRM hassles, I get to pick the format I use to rip and I can take my music from my home computers to work to mp3 players to the car to wherever without any hassles.<br><small>--<br>"Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so too."</small>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[fiberguy posted : I love it... take a delivery system that many people use to "share" and serve a large amount of illegal content and then put a store behind it that has DRM so you can't enjoy the very act that most people do, yet deny, and what do you have? A train-wreck.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[EPS posted : This is exactly the reason I like to buy as much of my media in physical form as possible... while there is some DRM associated with DVD, it has been cracked (I don't have any reason to use Blu-ray)... plus with physical media you get the right that digital distribution will always take away DRM or no DRM, the right of resale.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[B posted : Don't think about it too long.  You eventually realize that paying for software that you can't easily share with others or put on several of your own computers is equally confining.  It's a long dark road into an open source mindset. :)<br><br>Just "sold" another person on using PDFCreator instead of paying for yet another Acrobat license...<br><br>-- B<br><small>--<br>In a realm outside causality and function</small>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[funchords posted : I've certainly paid for online content -- DRM-free MP3 files from payplay.fm  Doing so is fine -- you know they're encoded correctly, you know what you're downloading, and you're supporting the art.<br><br>That the same thing -may- be available for free isn't a deal-killer for me.  Buy it and escape the hassles of bad codecs and bad karma.<br><br>But purchasing a DRM-infected file, never.  I will always avoid doing infecting my property with DRM.<br><br>Funny thing that I just realized as I was describing this -- I feel the same way about buying something on a "mail-in" rebate.  <br><br>The whole transaction is tainted and I'd rather pay more and not have to worry about it.  <br><br>Without DRM and without a mail-in rebate, the transaction is "genuine" and the item that I bought is mine without extra "gotchas" or hassles to come later.<br><small>--<br>Robb Topolski -= <A HREF="http://funchords.com/">funchords.com</a> =- Hillsboro, Oregon<br>More fun, more features, <i><A HREF="/join/new/">Join BroadbandReports.com</a></i>, it's free... <br></small>]]></description>
