I must also lightly chide @cwebber for something in the same episode when he said "the media" drives/drove DRM ... the context and follow-up seemed to indicate what he actually meant was "the entertainment industry".
(This falls under my general pet-peevery for the term "the media" which doesn't have a meaningful definition in most discussions and often doesn't stay put within one single train of argument. I alone seem to care about this, but I stand firm.)
