[TriLUG] buying songs online

[Jason Tower]

i respectfully disagree.  by purchasing DRM, you are doing two things:

1. telling the sellers that you don't object to it
2. funding their ability to "improve" it

purchasing DRM material while lamenting the loss of fair use is like buying 
a hummer and complaining about high gas prices.  if you object to DRM, don't 
buy it, period.
