After the big Sony DRM rootkit thing hit like a ton of bricks, an enterprising “news source” published this article, which claimed in rather tongue-in-cheek tones that Sony was embedding DRM into their digital cameras, to prevent anyone from sharing their photos. The problem is, people actually believed the story to be true.
Are the believers gullible morons? I certainly don’t think so. After all, the DRM Nazis have taken more ludicrous measures in the past, such as threatening to sue college students for pointing out that keyboards have shift keys.
By the way: remember the Sharpie Fix? Well, it appears that the DRM rootkit can be defeated with masking tape. Oh no! Time to sue 3M!
