DRM causes early onset of corporate Alzheimer's

Keyword: DRM

Nice metaphor in Simon Phipps' blog entry about Massachusetts (link from Groklaw)...

"[Using closed formats] results in what I call "corporate Alzheimer's", where you are condemned to be unable to use your documents at some point in the future where the tools available today that access the format are no longer available and/or usable. This becomes even more of an issue once the format gets wrappered in DRM, which causes early onset of corporate Alzheimer's."
