Just when you thought that DRM was on its way out, with various music stores abolishing the practice, some company will implement DRM in yet another way that will affect lots of customers in a very negative way. The most recent case of idiotic DRM comes courtesy of a gadget maker from Cupertino. Update: MacWorld provides nuance to the story, with comments from Apple and third-party manufacturers.

Agreed. While there's plenty of DRM gripes against Apple, this no more qualifies as DRM than an external keyboard does. Good god, we need a keyboard to control our desktop computers. Let's everybody cry DRM! How dare we need an external device!
Are the editors here idiots? Seriously? If you want to go after Apple for DRM go ahead, they deserve it in many respects, but if you're going to claim DRM you'd better make damn sure you know what the hell you're talking about. Stick to the fscking truth for once, or get the hell out of here and go join Slashdot where this bs belongs.
