Shamus Young:
You might remember that this column used to cover DRM stories a lot. I eventually stopped writing about it because nothing new was happening: Publishers were making the same mistakes again and again, and there are only so many ways I can discuss it before my thesaurus runs out of synonyms for "dumb". But recently there's been a new twist in the war between the publishers and the pirates. Ironically, it was a brief success on the publisher's part that showed just how much of a waste of time the whole thing is.
