Re: When are they going to realize
said by nasadude  : I bet if they offered consumers a quality product (non-DRM, high bitrate), that was easy to find, pay for and download, this shit might not stop Downloadable content is still a convenience at best, not the sole next-generation medium.
People are presently willing to purchase and download DRM-infested, low-bitrate crap 'cause they want to. This premise is as simple as supply and demand. Some care about the convenience, some care about the quality. One would shop online for either accordingly.
The RIAA and MPAA are lobbying for anti-piracy laws because they know that right now there's no better way to address the problem other than scaring people to stop doing it. Instead of investing in research for technologies to fend off the piracy, they'd rather slap everyone across with the same pimp hand. |
