	I don't like DRM either, but honestly, I wonder if it is possible to  
give it up in a society that most people think it is perfectly OK to  
pirate software and music. Far too many people -- people who  
otherwise would never break the law -- blatantly ignore the limits of  
fair use. A small, but sizable minority won't play by the rules and  
now the other side is overreacting.

	FairPlay is transparent enough that it seems reasonable to me.  
Although a watermark-based DRM seems preferable to me (and virtually  
-- completely? -- unbreakable).
