"I want to make it clear that DRM is perfectly ok with Linux!" --Linus
Torvalds.

DRM is not the problem; STOP ELECTING IDIOTS!!!  The problem is a
tragically ignorant population (and that blood [along with lots of other
blood] is on the hands [and head, arms, and legs] of our educational
institutions).  We regulate firearms, telephone bills, nuclear weapons,
etc...  and all those can more-or-less be justified to reasonable people
because they have some idea what firearms, telephones, and nuclear
weapons are; information technology is an different and sadder story. 
The purpose of government is to govern, the problem is that a democracy
full of people bewildered by what is going on won't be able to muster
the strength to make government do its job.
