Not directly relevant to Vorbis, but it seems that some people are
coming to realise the true value of DRM:

"Our position is simple: DRM doesn't add any value for the artist,
label (who are selling DRM-free music every day - the Compact Disc),
or consumer, the only people it adds value to are the technology
companies who are interested in locking consumers to a particular
technology platform."

(And maybe it's only a short step from DRM free to patent free?)
