The same thing that stops joe from getting the songs in mp3 format on a protected CD. NOTHING!

I don't know any one of my Generation that does not know how to use a computer and most know how to handle MP3s :)

I do, do hacks :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Consumer-Demand-for-nonDRM-online-music-17609875 Tue, 09 Jan 2007 15:52:40 EDT Re: Consumer Demand for non-DRM online music? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Consumer-Demand-for-nonDRM-online-music-17609554
Consumers won't care, or even notice DRM until it bothers them, and by then it'll be everywhere. It goes for everything. In digital content land, there are far more consumers than other two personality types, which is the point. It's not just people who aren't computer whizzes who won't notice it, it's anyone who is not really going to look into it. It's a boring topic, so I don't blame people for buying whatever and not caring.

He's right, the typical computer owner consumer is a moron. Always has been, and usually always will be. It's only those with a brain and who try to learn new things by reading and thinking who get anywhere with a computer. These are the same people who still have a flashing "12:00" on their damn VCR.
Corrected. :D

They believe a cheap 15 lbs box is a 500 watt receiver. They use composite video to hook up their HDTV. They buy a dell and ejaculate over their cheap pretty LCD and wonder why it dies when their HD goes to 80c because of poor case design. They

There are hobbyists, tweakers, and consumers. You can be all three at once. A consumer with electronics, a tweaker with cars, and a hobbyist for real estate, whatever. But most people are consumers in more areas than hobbyists/tweakers, so they will be idiots and take whatever they're sold, even if it is overpriced, low quality DRMed music.
You have a real disdain for non-geeks, don't you?

All DRM does is place a speed bump in the path of the pirates (not a road block like the record companies would like to believe).

Putting DRM on a CD to stop Internet piracy only winds up as a headache for the person who legitimately buys the content and wants to use it in legal manners. (For example, ripping it to MP3 to place on their MP3 player.)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Consumer-Demand-for-nonDRM-online-music-17608910 Tue, 09 Jan 2007 13:46:46 EDT Re: Consumer Demand for non-DRM online music? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Consumer-Demand-for-nonDRM-online-music-17608888 said by trparky:
