Not that this is news, but I really hate the way that the law-abiding people get fucked with DRM. Case in point: Theron somehow got a huge pile of .wma music. I'm not sure if he ripped them from CD and let things default to .wma because that's what Windows picks automatically or if he downloaded them (for money) from somewhere like Napster. I'm damn sure he didn't steal the files because nobody, but nobody, pirates .wma files as .wma files. These things were probably legitimately acquired once upon a time. He had them on his antique Win98 computer, which died here recently. Like a good soldier, though, he had a backup. He had burned the .wma files directly to a CD because "you can get more of them on there that way". Huzzah.

( A backup? That's great! So it's all good, right? )
