ZDNet has a very interesting take on the whole Digital Rights Management deal that is going on at the moment. Instead of calling it DRM though, they call it CRAP, which stands for Content, Restriction, Annulment, and Protection.

David Berlind, the executiver Editor, actually gets really excited about the whole deal. He explains that there are three big companies out there trying to force their proprietary DRM systems on the consumer. Should a consumer however decide to switch from an Apple DAP to Sony DAP he will not be able to play the music he has legally purchased.

That's why he recommends not to buy any products with "CRAP" inside them, because they are restricting your rights as a consumer.
