In one way it's a good thing because it ensures that people who refuse
to install Flash won't be left out of the pack when it comes to
purchasing digital content. On the other hand, it's also awful because
it legitimizes the idea of pushing digital rights management down the
consumers' throats. I have to admit that DRM has been nothing more than
a nightmare for me and I try to avoid it at all costs.
