Jerry - I was attempting to improve on the question Paul asked you.
Can you suggest an example of a recording that was released with DRM for
which the copyright has now expired?
This is to address the issue of whether DRM will, in the future,
interfere with the intended release into the public domain of old works.
I believe it will, which is I think the point The Wanderer was trying to
make several messages ago.
