Here's a concrete example of DRM suckage: if you bought video from Major League Baseball before 2006, your CDs are now useless. Why? Because they've abandoned the old DRM system and gone to a new one. Which also means that buyers of current MLB media are on borrowed time. From the Joy of Sox blog:

"MLB no longer supports the DDS system" that it once used and so any CDs with downloaded games on them "are no good. They will not work with the current system."

Ponder that next time you buy a song or show from iTunes.
