comic strip | panel 1 - DRM 9000: "Do You Want To" by Franz Ferdinand. You've played it 8 times. You were authorized for 7.5 times. You exceeded your digital rights. $50 fine. | comic strip | panel 2 - GREG: That's ludicrous.; DRM 9000: Since you cannot prove your innocence, you reveal your guilt. Sony will now prevent future privacy crimes you will probably commit. | comic strip | panel 3 - GREG: Wait, what?; DRM 9000: Based on your current tastes, I'll determine which Sony BMG CDs you will likely steal and charge your credit card for them. | comic strip | panel 4 - GREG: Aqualung, "Strange and Beautiful"... Teddy Geiger, "Underage Thinking"...; DRM 9000: You can't just--... you... wait, no, is that the "Love Monkey" kid? NO! |
