...most extreme, digital rights management technologies could control how often you listen to a song you've downloaded, where that song gets stored, whether you can share that song with someone else, and how long you have the right to listen. The technology could enable almost any form of control the copyright owner could imagine...

McCain wanted to change a deadly fact that has threatened to crush his campaign from the beginning: he's a Republican loaded with the baggage of George W. Bush. He had to rewrite the script. Obama? All he's had to do is read the one that was written...
