DRM stands for Digital Rights Management and refers to a protocol by which electronic downloads of videos, music, and e-books are crippled so that they can be used only on the device to which they are downloaded. My attitude about DRM is that it is a sign of distrust of the customers and it infuriates honest customers who need to transfer their downloads onto a new device when their old one breaks down, or who want to read e-books or watch movies or listen to music on more than one device.

When Napster, the online sharing website, became popular, sales of movies went up not down. So much for DRM's protection of intellectual property royalties. If two people, each unwilling to pay full price for something, buy it together then make two copies one for each of them, then DRM would have cost the producer a sale. Also, the existence of a pirated copy of something may motivate someone who sees or hears it to buy an honest copy.

I have these materials available not only for personal gain, but also because I consider them important as representations of my political beliefs. I don't stomp around waving signs and making a nuisance of myself. I don't pester people for money and, having taken it, become singularly vague about how it is to be spent. I merely tell my story to those who are willing to listen, ideally including you.

All of my electronic intellectual property is available without DRM encumbrances. The only copy protection is your conscience. I respect you; please reciprocate.

and you were asked to get a medical exam for that purpose?

Hate deceptive advertising?

So do I.

who hold public hearings, trying to bamboozle you?

Please note: I have left the full-length version available for free viewing on YouTube, without requiring payment, to assist the fight for political freedom. But if you want to help pay me for my effort, please watch the video on Amazon VideoDirect or buy the DVD.

Bonus with the DVD: you get the presentation in PowerPoint form on the DVD if you put the disk in a computer's DVD drive. You also get the Barack Obama Tax and Spend ringtone with the DVD; listen to it here.

You are not alone.

Here is my contribution to this very old problem.
