RIAA LAWYER 'BUNDLED' WITH NEW MICROSOFT DRM

Microsoft took the wraps off its latest Digital Rights Management software Monday. While the new DRM platform from Microsoft enables the protection, delivery and playback of subscription-based or on-deman digital music and video across a myriad of digital devices, its perhaps most extraordinary innovation is the 'wrapping' of each individual piece of content with a unique RIAA lawyer's name. "You can transfer this stuff to any device in your home, car, or person", a Microsoft spokesman said, "but God forbid should you violate its copyright, the name of the lawyer who will be suing you on the copyright owner's behalf will pop up on your screen, a long with a legalistic description of your offense and a single form button entitled "I Agree".
