Think of all of the people employed to make all of these incompatible products. In an economy like we have today, we really should be embracing the chaos that is modern copy protection.
You forgot to mention how to break the DRM, if this explaination included "EVERYTHING" you wanted to know. I want to know how to break Fairplay DRM specifically.
"but then again, it's not as easy to rip a stream for Joe Blow as it is to share a file over Limewire"
Remember, though - all it takes is one clued in guy to rip the stream and Joe Blow can download it over Limewire forever. This is why DRM really doesn't work.
@jackjumper: I think that's why Hollywood is glad that, for now, streaming video looks like ass. Can you imagine a super-clean non-hiccupy HD Hulu stream? I don't think NBC or Fox can either!
