Unfettered by DRM doesn't mean NO DRM

I think it's important to remember that unfettered by DRM doesn't mean it doesn't contain DRM. I'm of the opinion that if you downloaded the same song from two different accounts and checked the file's signature(I may be using this term wrong, I think it's also called a hash) you would find that they don't match up. Basically, if someone obtained the file, they could trace it back to the account you bought it with.

So if any of the songs you get from these people are torrented, you could be in for a very big lawsuit. So, the consumer gets what they want, the song companies get what they want, and the pirates...Well, I guess we'll find out who's about freedom and who's just about getting free shit.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
