After ditching Apple, NBC opts for flex pricing and more DRM with Amazon

After ditching Apple, NBC opts for flex pricing and more DRM with Amazon: Showing us that it's not all about Hulu, NBC inks a download deal with Amazon just days after the public spat between Apple and NBC. What's Unbox got that Apple doesn't? Flexible pricing and less "flexible" DRM. (Via Ars Technica.)

Why am I not surprised?

The whole discussion of which online store content goes to is going to stay irrelevant to me and most people I know until there's no DRM and they can actually compete in convenience and video quality with a half decent bittorrent tracker.

It depends on whether you are willing to infringe copyright. Some of us are not, because we respect the rights of content creators.
