...except that one's ridiculous. The idea of IP is not difficult to comprehend; if you were a content producer, you wouldn't want to give away your works for nothing. The only thing I have a problem with is what xkcd brought up in their comic - whether you buy DRMed media or steal it, you're a criminal. If you buy the DRMed stuff, you've simply limited yourself to specific software and devices. That's why I only buy music from Amazon as DRM-free MP3.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21263507 Tue, 14 Oct 2008 09:45:30 EDT Re: Silly?

It's certainly not silly. A lot of people engage in criminal acts regardless of the possible penalty so it's certainly not surprising that some people would continue engaging in copyright infringement even at the risk of losing their service.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21260371 Mon, 13 Oct 2008 17:22:15 EDT
