This talk by Cory Doctorow was pretty great (unfortunately, this is the short version, the long version actually covers the important stuff).
It covers the many problems we are going into because of DRM and close restrictive devices.
I don't really see things getting better any time soon, though – most people just don't care, even as they are deeply affected by it (as an example, just see the VW software that made everyone end up breathing more pollution).
