There's more, but that should do as a first point. Objections to DRM
go
far beyond just objections to copyright.
Please show an example where that has occurred.
Please show an example of a digital recording that was copyrighted 75
yrs
ago. It is a silly request, I know. But no less silly than yours.
Not silly at all. But there are may of them. The works of Shakespeare,
among others, are much older than 75 years, and have now entered the
public domain. And they have been digitized.
