[UFO Chicago] corporate bit-torrent

[Larry Garfield]

It's not the commercials that would bother me, but the DRM.  DRM === Evil.  
Full Stop.  I will not partake of a DRM service.  (Yes, I boycott iTunes on 
the same grounds.)  

If a company wants my business, they can assume I'm a customer rather than a 
criminal.  Otherwise they can get stuffed.

We'll see what AOL/TW decides...

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
