Copyright law is complicated.

There's no such thing as open-source DRM. Open-source is about encouraging users to make changes to a system. DRM is about locking a user out of a system.

We all need one of these.

AOL intentionally makes it difficult for you to cancel its service. My dad recently got a free cable modem if he agreed to sign up for an AOL account. He signed up for the account, and then canceled it the next day. He spent about fifteen minutes on the phone as the customer service representative begged and pleaded with him not to cancel, and enticed him with a dozen special offers. Of course, he wouldn't relent, and they canceled the account. A month later he received a letter in the mail stating that his account had been canceled, but not before AOL customer service called the house, trying to talk him into re-activating his account.
