Funny story about the K-cup thing, the DRM could be defeated with some tape. Shortly after that discovery, someone (wish I could remember their name) proceeded to manufacture little clip-on plastic parts and send them to people for free. They were real, injection-molded plastic parts, too. Not 3D printed ones, though you could 3D print one for yourself. I've still got one of the original ones somewhere around here.
There's no way the story wasn't posted on HN, but I don't think I'd be able to find it easily.
E: Turns out my search fu is better than I realized. It was called the Freedom Clip. Even Walmart sells them these days.
