more from gaping void
  DRM kind of makes sense?

Get all 80 years of The New Yorker on a little USB drive for $150. That’s pretty cool. Unfortunately it comes with DRM that prevents you from highlighting text or doing interesting things with the content, but it also prevents people from uploading and sharing the files for free. I hate restrictions, but isn’t the DRM in this circumstance allowing a company to distribute their product in a new interesting way? The efficacy of DRM is unclear, but I think the lack of innovation in commercial distribution of content is actually testimony to the economic problems of file sharing.
