| FUD, it's whats for dinner Anyone remember when there was some sort of value to discovering the truth? The path to success in modern business seems more and more about spin/FUD/disinformation than actually producing a workable product that customers want.

| eh? "Pretty much the entire industry has simply decided that DRM is the only way to make money -- even with repeated examples of why that's simply not true," Can someone educate me on some of these "examples?"
The most successful download business model (besides piracy) is iTunes, which has the most stringent DRM on the block. | |

Every effort possible to deter Piracy should be implemented and Pirates should be severely punished for their crimes. That is the only way DRM will ever disappear. | |
