Re: Nice.. said by BetaTron:said by stevephl:The fight to better the burglary tools? The fight to make stealing video's and music easier? Wow we have really advanced as a civilization, next we need to find a way to keep shop lifters more stealthy while in stores to prevent the authorities from arresting them, how dare someone think stealing should be banned. This argument will go back and forth for a VERY long time but... We all know what the deal is but not everyone uses these services to infringe. So this (PB VPN) is only another reason for the **aa's to come up with a better method for content delivery at a reasonable price that is accessible to everyone easily. @stevephl
What about people who want to blog anonymously? What about people who want to submit things to wikileaks without fear of getting caught? Do you not see that people have a certain right and expectation of privacy?
@BetaTron
I disagree, if the *AA haven't gotten the hint yet, then they never will. DRM is coming to a screeching halt, iTunes is going DRM free (or has already). Big corporations have to learn that DRM and copyright protection does NOT protect their property, it only hurts the honest consumer. The people who will violate copyright are going to find a way around whatever million dollar DRM system that is put into the place - the average person wont and will complain that they can only install the game once, play the song once...and guess what? The average person knows how to use google, punches in a few keywords, removes the DRM and now becomes a copyright violator. It all comes full circle. If companies were more open they would make more money. People don't want restrictions, they want the right to do what they want with that digital file. | |

Brooklyn, NY | I don't see how we disagree 
The double a's haven't got a clue (see we agree) but if they want to stay relevant to their industries they better wake up and smell the coffee. If they don't (come up with a real solution) then some one else will and reap the benefits. | |

Exactly, and who pays for these DRM at the end, certainly not them. It's the customers. | |
