Every effort possible to deter Piracy should be implemented and Pirates should be severely punished for their crimes. That is the only way DRM will ever disappear. DRM does NOTHING to deter piracy. You're too drowning in the MAFIAA koolaid to realize this, as is every Organized Music/Hollywood CEO who thinks DRM is a viable business model.
It may even encourage or cause "piracy". And it is pure snakeoil as well - if it can be heard or seen, it can be copied.
For those of you who persist in thinking that DRM somehow curbs piracy, read the following commentary from Jim Baen's Universe posted to p2pnet.net: »p2pnet.net/story/11440
Nothing could be further from the truth. Jim is arguing that DRM creates a black market and high demand for non DRM encumbered (read: pirated) electronic media. It is the very same principle behind smuggling. -- "The trouble with computers, of course, is that they are very sophisticated idiots." - Doctor Who (from Robot) |
