Actually, it's easy to violate the license. Restrictions on  
distribution are not placed by the law. They are placed by the  
copyright holder. It's against the law to violate the license. But the  
law does not dictate the terms of that license.

DRM is not necessary in any way shape or form. It is wanted by the RIAA  
and ASCAP. You should blame them. They are solely responsible.
