An absolutely marvelous rant today by Cory Doctorow on Boing-Boing about digital rights management (DRM). Specifically, he begins by commenting on a recent blog entry of a Microsoft employee extolling the virtues of MS's own DRM over Apple's, but ends up saying a whole lot about why no DRM is the best DRM choice for the consumer.

Also from Boing-Boing, more groundswell support for digital downloading of music from the likes of Brian Eno and Peter Gabriel via their recently announced union for musicians: MUDDA.

And from the absolutely queer department, a hysterical tribute to those happy-go-lucky cuddly guys you can always count on: gay boyfriends.
