Buzz Out Loud Lounge: Dr Horrible defeated by DrM maddness

Dr Horrible defeated by DrM maddness

Maybe its just me, perhaps in my old age (over 36) I'm getting fickle. I was informed about Dr Horribles sing along blog, watched it several times, and now am stunned to see that the only legitimate place to PAY to have it is iTunes with its DrM goodness all poser like up in my face.

I do not have an iPod, I would be happy to pay for the video if I could watch it when I want how I want where I want...but no, the video you let me watch for free is now verbotin. I don't understand...I know there are a few hundred torrents out there where anyone with a modicum of skill could get the whole thing for free. So here I am with a choice...pay for a version that doesn't give me what I want, or get what I want for free. Who thought this was a good business model?

I know, I know...stop beating the dead horse but how can you work o hard to build a viral excitement campaign and not realize the very people who are most likely to make you a success are the ones most likely to baulk at restrictive DrM.
