January 13, 2018023: Drywall and Concrete - Get Rekt!
Online (Godzilla) is crushing Retail (Tokyo)... Or at least that's what Adam & Lew believe. What will really happen when online shopping phases out physical stores? Pizza Delivery should have a Live Cam, and Adam waffles on color choices.

December 30, 2017021: F^3 DRM Protected Episode
AIM died officially, SpaceX freaked out Southern California, and there is DRM protection all over the place. The boys are back for more and this time we are talking about that pesky DRM protection. It's there to protect the creator and the consumer. Tune in and see what we think!
Follow Up
Litecoin goes up
Funny blockchain tweet
Jim finished finals and he is relieved!
Data Rights Management (DRM for short)
This is what it is
Places it exists
Video Games
E-Books
Film
Music
TV
Pictures
Streaming
All of which are digital of course
Other Countries do it differently
China judges you a little
EU is fast and loose with the rules if circumventing is not used for resell
USA is kind of intense, as we know
-- DMCA
Challenges and issues
Is it better to protect the consumer or the creator?
-- A little column A, a little column B
Internet outages
Analog recording software
With streaming, it is hard to discern what is owned and what is rented
Benefits to relaxing DRM is essentially it allows the consumer to have more freedom with the content they consume.
