The problem is that review sites and free sites in general that coddle the surfers view DRM as a negative....as if we're somehow fucking over the customer by not allowing them to share the product with 10,000 of their closest friends.
That attitude needs to change IMO.

They are writing the review for the consumer, so of course they'd treat it as negative. It's of course not fair from the paysite's perspective, but it's how review sites are built. They're a double edged sword.
