Windows Vista DRM question???(A MUST READ)

So Ive read a bit about Vista and overall it sounds like a so-so OS. The thing that really caught my eye was all the problems people have been having with the built in DRM. Can someone please explian exactly WHY/HOW this is even legal/included in the OS??? From what ive seen some people cant even record TV shows using there TV/Video cards because a little pop up springs up and says YOU CANT DO THIS BECAUSE THIS IS COPYRIGHTED CONTENT. I mean WTF what else is this wonderful DRM going to do??? Maybe prevent people from ripping and burning there own custom music CDs ....you know the more I hear about DRM the more pissed off I get :x

So besides HD/Blu-Ray DVDs and TV shows, DRM doesn't affect anything.

No use getting pissed over it, since the Digital Mellenium Copyright Act (thank you Clinton) makes it 100% legal. Puts the content control in the hands of the creators. The creators don't want something done with it, it'll be damn hard to get it stopped. A pop-up coming up not letting a person record something, they probably haven't got the thing configured right.

Come on cheap guy, its $0.35 to make a call today.

see, what do i know... the last time I used a pay-phone they were a dime. ...and here I thought I was going to be way ahead of the curve when I said a quarter! it's those damn cell-phones.
