zedsalt	Date: October 14, 2008 @ 3:31 AM I'm hearing Jerry Seinfeld's whine in my head, "But I don't wanna be a pirate!" Thank goodness I almost always have options other than piracy and DRM...well, let's call them what they are...DRM-infected files. I'll eat more fresh fish than I'm supposed to...I won't buy DRM-infected files...so, I figure the logical inference is that I'd rather risk a slow descent into madness and death by mercury poisoning than I would take a chance on the kind of situation the cartoon describes. Goodness!
