| governing copyright controls. How could Google's failure be our gain? Simple. 
| By picking up its marbles and going home, Google just demonstrated how 
| completely bizarre and anti-consumer DRM technology can be. Most importantly, 
| by pulling the plug on the service, Google proved why consumers have to be 
| allowed to circumvent copy controls.
