I've never actually used any of those from my public library because
the restrictions are just so foolish.


(I understand DRM. My comment was a just dig at IPODS, and Microsoft)
Maybe the specific protection scheme is cumbersome, but I don't
understand why you think it is foolish. It is a system for information
that is covered by copywrite. You don't own the information you
download, you just "borrow" it, like you do now when you check out a
book at a library.

Foolish was a hasty choice of adjective. I like your "cumbersome"
much better, and in my case also a dig at Microsoft, and as a Windows
resistant Mac user, I bristle when I see content that is labeled
"Windows only." Yeh, I know I can run Windows on my MacBook, I just
don't want to.
