Man [typing]: ...and that's why music DRM is bad for listeners and artists!
Woman[off-panel]: What are you doing?
Woman: In case you didn't notice, we won the music DRM war. The big stores are DRM free.

Man: But I don't actually like music, I just like being self-righteous on the web.
Woman: Lucky for you, that will always be free.
