What's your take on copy protection and DRM?

I think it all needs to go away, period. No exceptions.

I'm not a fan, but if it can be done in a way that paying customers can tolerate, I'll live with it.

I don't have an opinion.

I think it's okay--or a least a necessary evil.

I think it's an important part of defending creators' rights.

Isn't this poll a little biased (not that I don't agree of course).
Just you are polling those who read to the end of a 3 page anti copy protection diatribe.
I am not surprised the result is so one sided.

p.s. Loved the article, and share the view about the sometimes strident over the top attitude of the FSF, but often they do know their stuff.

p.p.s. I am a FSF member so I support the legal and political work they do despite my feelings above.
