1. DRMed WMA is no WMA at all, according to the SMPTE VC-1
specification. -> fraud
2. A DRM software is an fact a trojan horse. It intentionally cripples
the system and hides the user's data from himself to ensure limited
ability to copy data. -> computer fraud
3. Typical DRM software implementations allow remote control to the
distributor. -> computer fraud
4. DRM technically breaks Fair Use. Once you've lost your licenses
(machine crashed and the !=A7#$% DRM software doesn't want to reimport th=
e
backup) and the distributer is gone, your files have become garbage. ->
copyright infringement of the other kind
