I disagree.
Wired's nice little introduction will make more people aware that they don't have to put up with DRM.
Wired's attention will also make it easier to find definitive info on DRM removal. When I'm not looking for anything in particular, I look at sites like Wired. But when I want to know how to do something specific, I go straight to Google. And Wired's story will boost Apprentice Alf's search ranking, making the solution that much easier to find for folks tired of DRM.

- tomrod 14y agoPerhaps not information, but the fact it's reposted on Wired means the article has a larger audience (at least by one--me).
