The original Cnet article was like comparing a Hybrid Ford pickup with a Honda Civic, then coming to the conclusion that hybrids don't save you gas. They were comparing completely different technologies. While not exactly a in-depth study its still had better methodologies than the Cnet article. It also confirms pretty much what most people had surmised, which is that DRM by itself isn't draining your battery into oblivion.
Now I'm not saying that I LIKE the idea of DRM. However I think we should concentrate on the actual harm and social implications of DRM. More fear mongering about it simply gives the trolls more stuff to whine about.
