I've tried a bit of preaching myself and have met with limited sucess. Fortunately Suw knows what's she's doing in this regard. Keep up the good work babe it's appreciated.

Saying all this if DRM is opened up too much then it becomes useless at controling where music is played. Myself, I will never ever buy anything with DRM's on as the limit what I can do and usually are mroe expensive than a CD, why bother? My mates either do what I do or even just buy it off iTunes and then remove the DRM.
