Another example of why DRM is bad for consumers

WalMart pulls the plug on its DRM server, tells customers to deal with it.

According to an e-mail sent out to Walmart.com Music customers, the DRM servers are gettin’ the boot come October 9th. Users are being told to burn their music to CDs to back it up. Rather than finding a cheap way to keep the DRM servers online (which should be relatively easy - seeing as DRM songs haven’t been sold in 7 months, both the track and customer lists should be static), they’re pushing the hassle on the customer.
