Thank god the DRM isn’t broken
Everyone’s been linking to the napster hack recently, where someone bypassed drm by having winamp put the audio straight into a wav file. You should be able to find the necessary tools for this through the comments on this slashdot post if you’re so inclined.
Following this story in which a napster marketroid is quoted with “the DRM is intact”, Tome Hume brilliantly notes:
Oh, that’s OK then – I mean, the music’s been stolen, but thank god the DRM is still intact!
Just imagine: a bunch of suits joyously circle-jerking in a conference room because their precious drm hasn’t been broken while kids prop up cheap, craptastic microphones in front of their speakers because they stopped giving a damn about sound quality after they’ve been subjugated to lousily recorded, lossy encoded music for years. The glorious digital future we’ll live in.
