Re: DRM makes paying for something worthless.
said by BF69  :Just to play Devil's Advocate. Say someone back in the 60's bought a Rolling Stones album. In the 70's when the 8 track of that same album came out he should have gotten that for free, then when the early 80's when cassette came out he should have gotten that for free too. Then when the CD came out in the late 80's that of course should be free too. I mean it's all the same music and they've already paid for it once. Please explain how this is different? Same thing goes for VHS/DVD/HD-DVD. Fronkman underscored my argument effectively but I wanted to add that you're comparing apples to oranges with yours. Most consumers don't expect freebie music for vinyl, tape cassette, DAT, mp3, etc. That is a specious argument and you aren't playing Devil's Advocate. You're just being ridiculously argumentative. I'd be careful if I were you because you might be mistaken for a RIAA shill.
