That's a very interesting article. Though the author isn't exactly
arguing for DRM; his last paragraph calls out the W3C for their
recent moves in support of it.

But his wider point that everything sucks if it's designed with
advertising as the only business model is fair, and an important
issue. DRM cannot be a fair and reasonable solution, needless to
say, but it is a pity there isn't more imagination from businesses.
Because advertising isn't, either.
