I came across this thread again recently, and now I realize it really was a pointless one to begin with. I wasn't thinking about DRM-free media at the time, and nostalgia and personal preferences were clouding my ability to think rationally about the topic.

I obviously got some flack for what I said previously, and I'll probably get some now for taking this long to realize where I went wrong to begin with, but at least I have the courtesy to admit I was wrong
