Two cartoons explaining the problem with DRM are making the rounds; this page links to both. Glenn Fleishman explains, "In both cases, the examples aren't, 'Hey, go steal stuff and rip off the copyright holder who is entitled to exploit his or her creation!' Rather, the humor lies in how hard companies make it to access stuff we have permission to. Media firms seem to delete in making it hard, all of which contributes to 'piracy' as a form of civil disobedience."
