Media lawyers cripple Western Digital hard drives and Congress considering upping filesharing fines

Today's Webb Alert has a pair of good stories on DRM's effects on the media. Looks like Western Digital has decided to block their latest hard drives from copying media files over the web and it seems someone in Congress finds that the fines in place for filesharing just aren't enough. But Morgan Webb is much prettier than me, so you should listen to her tell you about it. (The stories of interest are the first two, being about two minutes - though I find the rest of the podcast entertaining, being about 6 minutes total.) You can find links with more information on the stories on the show notes.
