Seems like all it does is install copy protection BS :roll: I guess I'll be skipping this one... Don't get me wrong, I'm for the idea, but in implementation it always seems to hurt legitimate consumers while pirates easily find ways around it and continue to do their thing.

Yeah, awesome upgrade there. I'll be happy to risk borking my system so that I can get nagged all the time and be unable to use music and software that I have paid for...[sigh].

Or more likely, it'll allow you to play music that has DRM enabled (should you chose to purchase such music), that otherwise you would not be able to play, while leaving all your non-DRM music alone.
