If the RIAA and MPAA ran the handbag industry, from Wired:

For starters, handbags would only work in one country. All of a handbag's contents would fall from the bottom at a border crossing, or while on an international flight, under the industry's HRM standards.

This HRM tool, like DRM on digital music files and DVDs, would only allow the purse to be worn with a single outfit. The handbag would not function with a different outfit, thus requiring another purchase of the same handbag if a change of clothes was in order.

Yes, DRM is that bad. So is the aggressive litigation and general misinformation produced by these ridiculous agencies.
