How to bludge/DRM

OK, you know Digital Rights Management? You know how it used to mean "you can only burn a CD from this iTunes song five times" and now it means "I used to be a big, important media corporation but I don't think I am anymore"? Well, yeah. The handling of Gordon Ramsay's amazing Kitchen Nightmares is a case in point.

You get three fifths (3/5!) of an episode free on youtube, and then you have to go and buy the rest ("get them hooked, then they'll buy the DVD"). Some people are idiots.

Amazing show, though. Maybe we should make our blog about food? Are there even any blogs about food? Would ours be the first?
