clubs: | DRM is obsolete I have never ever ever purchased any music that has DRM on it and I never will. Besides it is so easy to circumvent I don't see what the big deal is. Give me any song and in 1 minute I will have a backup of it. | |

Give me any song and in 1 minute I will have a backup of it. If it's so easy then why not buy DRM music anyways? Since it will only take a minute of your time to get rid of the DRM. Your comment doesn't make sense. | |

| You are indicating what you find acceptable by how you spend your money. If you don't find drm acceptable you should refuse to buy material with drm, regardless of how easy or difficult it is to circumvent because you are only reinforcing the production of such material in the market.
People need to understand that it isn't in the interest of the consumer to allow themselves to become trapped in these drm schemes. Techies may find it easy to get around drm at the moment but you are hurting market trends. As vista is released, with it's protected code path, people's ability to load drivers etc. is increasingly constrained to protect copyrighted material and drm is more deeply integrated into hardware it will become more difficult to circumvent anyway(we are only at the beginning of their dreams of total lock down). The larger point is that the consumer needs to speak on this issue before we head further down this road. The further we allow things to go the more profound the consequences and the harder it will be recover the open pc from the grip of attempts to turn it into a closed black box to protect copyrighted work. | |
