I suspect most readers of this blog are already aware just why DRM is a Bad Thing™ -- but I thought I'd post a link to this top 10 list anyway, because it's a good collection of arguments against Digital Restriction Management. Send it to your friends and family, 'specially if they have the Zune on their Christmas wishlist. (Does anybody really want one of those ugly, DRM-infected things? Ugh.)
Special bonus link: A guide to DRM free audio sites. Magnatune is already one of my favorite sites, but the rest of these sites also look promising. Tip: If you're a Linux user, try Amarok, which now integrates the Magnatune "store," which allows you to stream entire albums before purchasing.
