If other industries were as evil as the record companies
Cracked.com member AceJustice is featured in the site's photoshopping contest that asks members to imagine, "If Other Industries Were As Evil as the RIAA." I love AceJustice's entry, as it illustrates one of my favorite DRM metaphors, useful when people ask why I think it's important that we be allowed to run "unapproved" software on our phones and tablets: "Would you buy a toaster that limited you to buying your bread from a single vendor?"
