Free Culture and poisonous DRM

In Free Culture, Lessig discusses code, or digital rights management, as being the modern regulater of copyright freedom. I agree completely. However, I think the one point he didn’t address (and maybe for good reason in forming his argument) was a possible negative public reaction to parasitic DRM techniques/code.

I looked up the word piracy at dictionary.com […]
