"This guy" is prolific author Cory Doctorow. I suspect he's been made quite a few promises regarding DRM and distribution.
I'm inclined to think he has some domain knowledge in this subject.

I'm pointing out that the DRM chain is built on a very large set of very detailed promises between the parties involved. The existing promises are for the most part public and can be read by anyone. I'm not aware of ANY language requiring ANY type of meaningful pro-consumer behavior. The promises are all about SECURING content and control by content PRODUCERS.
