D-R-Aime?

... and other observations
What is DRAime? It's a blog that talks about D, R and ...M! I know what the D stands for, I know what the R stands for, but I have yet to understand what the M is for.
Management? Mismanagement? Misery? Mystery? All bets are on!
(For those who don't know, Aime, in french, is pronounced M and means to like - which gives us DRM)

Maybe Microsoft should sue?

It seems like Microsoft was having problems with Sony over the new DVD standard, but now they have even more reasons to not be happy.

Not only does Microsoft have to deal with all the negative publicity generated by the constant flow of viruses, worms, malware and spyware, they now have to deal with negative publicity generated by the DRM Sony distributes.

And who gets protection for free?

If you have one of these CDs, and you have a Windows PC (Macs are totally immune, as usual), you may have caught the XCP bug.

The argument on why most viruses target the Windows platform is always on the topic on 'Most marketshare vs. less secure', it seems this extends to DRM as well.
