Beh, any DRM is only likely to harm legal users anyway. Here’s why:
“DRM systems are usually broken in minutes, sometimes days. Rarely, months. It's not because the people who think them up are stupid. It's not because the people who break them are smart. It's not because there's a flaw in the algorithms. At the end of the day, all DRM systems share a common vulnerability: they provide their attackers with ciphertext, the cipher and the key. At this point, the secret isn't a secret anymore.”

If anyone is interested in IP in general, I'd recommend this book:
Boldrin & Levine: Against Intellectual Monopoly.
Despite being about economics (yawn...), it's actually a pleasure to read.
You can find it here: (for free)

The Finnish Government only recently authorized two new reactors*. Local Greens are livid!
*Probably won’t be Russian made, though.
