Phipps, Simon. “DRM and the death of a culture.” SunMink, January 28, 2006.

Summary: The most serious problems with digital restrictions management is the “collateral damage” to the culture that accepts it, by ensuring that posterity will be unable to read, see, or listen to our creative works, by giving the authority that notionally defends intellectual property a place in every cultural transaction, and by replacing discretion and common sense in the application of copyright rules with prepackaged algorithms.

For these reasons, DRM must be opposed, and now is the time to oppose it.
