Illogic gate

So let me get this straight: Bill Gates is arguing that because your medical records should remain private, this means that any music you purchase online must be usage-restricted?

What the fuck?

I also find it interesting that he bashes communism because creative people are not rewarded and have no incentive to create, but then supports DRM even though it takes away rights from the people doing the purchasing. The effect of DRM is that it makes me less likely to purchase a song online, which leads to decreased revenue for the creative artist.

About the only statement from Gates that has its roots in fact and logic is "It's the same bits!"

UPDATE: I should add that everyone should read Cory Doctorow's talk about DRM in addition to Gates' nonsensical babbling.
