I seem to recall Cory Doctorow mentioning that he had to use 2 macs  
nonstop for a month ripping all of his audible books to cd when he  
switched to ubuntu. That's the problem with DRM. I'm sure you can find  
whatever you want on the pirate bay, but are prevented from being an  
honest customer because of your desire for freedom.
