I don't agree DRM is bullshit... but we spent, albeit because we didn't have a choice, years letting surfers get used to no-restriction downloads. If you want to launch something which has no plus side from the surfers' point of view and is obviously going to create the perception of less value, surely you should anticipate and figure a way to avoid a negative reaction.
