As mentioned, my problem with DRM isn't that I am concerned about information that wants to be free, but that it prevents me from using content as if I owned it. There is value in owning content, and I would like the option to pay for that premium. However, oddly enough, DRM-free content, although more valuable, becomes less expensive due to increased availability.

I wonder what the market effects of DRM that expired would be.
