I totally agree with you, but the author's post is film-specific. For other mediums the situation is much brighter (but a long way to go), for example:

- bandcamp.com - once purchased, download music anywhere in any format you choose FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, MP3, etc.

- GOG.com - purchase and download completely DRM-free, offline playable games.

- Some e-book publishers now sell DRM-free e-books, including Tor books

While Bandcamp is indeed the best music purchasing option in my opinion, I'd like to add that music is available without DRM pretty much anywhere these days, regardless of which store you use. It's not something limited to Bandcamp, but an industry-wide common practice.
Thanks, great point.
