Another installment in the same sad story. People who bought DRM-encumbered media from WalMart, trusting that the retail giant would be around forever to grant access, have been burned. WalMart is telling they will have to somehow create backup copies as the DRM versions will no longer function as of October 9. "but I think this is precisely why people don't smile and think happy when the subject of DRM and all the nastiness it entails enters and re-enters and re-re-enters the public conversation." More form Mark Oehlert.
