I'm sure if he was capable of upgrading his connection he would. A lot of places (even in the US) are still not equipped with high speed internet. Just a couple of years ago in Washington State I was still on dial up (albiet in a fairly rural area, but still not more than 45 minutes outside Portland, OR.).

Right. But saying you cant have internet based DRM because you dont have a capable connection is equivalent to denying the last 5 years of progress.
