Bob Says… Stop Whining About DRM

There are several groups of people with whom I instinctively feel sympathy. They include among their number the homeless and refugees. Absent from this list, however, are people who have nothing better to do with their pointless lives than whine about DRM. They, as far as I’m concerned, can go f— themselves. So your new aluminium MacBook refuses to play iTunes downloads on non-DisplayPort displays? Boo. F—ing. Hoo. I thought we had this problem solved years ago: buy the DVD. Play it on anything with a DVD drive. Rip it to all your other devices. Stop your f—ing moaning. And learn a little patience. Because until iTunes starts stocking emergency medical how-tos, there isn’t a film out there you need so urgently that you have to suffer the disadvantages of digital downloads.
