"Windows Vista includes an array of 'features' that you don't want. These features will make your computer less reliable and less secure. They'll make your computer less stable and run slower. They will cause technical support problems. They may even require you to upgrade some of your peripheral hardware and existing software. And these features won't do anything useful. In fact, they're working against you. They're digital rights management features built into Vista at the behest of the entertainment industry. And you don't get to refuse them."

Of course you can refuse them. Don't purchase content that can be limited by Vista. Or don't purchase Vista. To be honest, if I was a shareholder of an RIAA or MPAA affiliate, I would be deeply concerned about their disregard of the consumer.
I don't for one second beleive that the DRM helps the artists. It sure as heck doesn't prevent the unauthorized distribution of thier content.
