    @privacylab "One recent study found that Amazon is the second most-trusted institution of any kind in the United States, ahead of Google, the police, and the higher-education system, and trailing only the U.S. military."

    that's gotta be one of the most fucked up sentences I ever read

    1. That DRM systems don't work

    2. That DRM systems are bad for society

    3. That DRM systems are bad for business

    4. That DRM systems are bad for artists

    5. That DRM is a bad business-move

    He was right.
