Ed Felten's 2005

Amongst Ed Felten's predictions for 2005:

"DRM technology will still fail to prevent widespread infringement. In a related development, pigs will still fail to fly."

Can't argue with that.

Optimistically he also thinks:

"DRM technology, especially on PCs, will be seen increasingly as a security and privacy risk to end users."

Sadly I think the general awakening to this reality will take longer to come to pass.
