I hate bad DRM, not the idea of DRM as a whole.

I also hate when I buy a DVD and it spends ages showing me those non-skippable screens going on about not copying it – I didn’t copy it – I bought it – but if you insist on nagging me, I might not buy the next one..!

Hands-down, I prefer the scenario where I can rent (DRM’d) content, as opposed to having to buy non-DRM’d content.

I often hear people (iTunes users) complaining that they want to “own” their music. OK, great. For $10,000, you own the pink slip to all the songs on your iPod. And what is it you can do with that pink slip that I can’t? For $14.99/month I can have just as much fun playing a Zunefull of the exact same music. Oh, and if I decide that I don’t like Chris Brown anymore, I’m not throwing away my money when I delete his songs.

Bad DRM has scared consumers off from good (transparent) DRM. DRM is ultimately unavoidable, it’s just a matter of hiding the fact that it exists.
