Media Companies Go Too Far in Curbing Consumers’ Activities, By WALTER S. MOSSBERG,
The Wall Street Journal., October 20, 2005.

Mossberg enumerates the problems with Digital
Rights Management (DRM) technologies on iTunes,
TiVo, Windows Media Player, and more. He notes
that “the real issue isn’t DRM itself — it’s the manner in which DRM is used by copyright holders…. [T]reating all consumers as potential criminals by using DRM to overly limit their activities is just plain wrong.”
