Evil.DRM.go.away

DRM is probably the worst thing to come out of music and entertainment companies. Obviously there was a need for it as consumers and thieves alike needed a clear warning about the implications of illegally downloading music. DRM has since been a giant virus that has been affecting media files by placing guidelines on these fairly bought products. Now the Microsoft DRM apparently will be shutting down their support to retrieve license keys August 31st leaving customers with more trouble in maintaining their paid music. DRM has been deemed necessary when piracy was rampant, now it has only become a deep scar in the software world.
