Just to make this even more explicit than it was in the article: DRM had more effect on legitimate viewers than on pirates.[1]
Of all the possible snarky comments to make (and there are many), I'm going to settle for this one: maybe we really are better off not encrypting those predator drones.
[1] To be fair, some legitimate users and some pirates, and I don't know where they'll get the 3-d glasses.
- camccann 17y agoWhich really goes to highlight the biggest flaw with DRM: It's an additional cost to add something that will not, under any circumstances, improve the customer's experience. It's one thing to have a black market providing illicit versions of a product, but when the black market provides a superior product at lower cost with, often, greater convenience? Something that has gone horribly, terribly wrong.
- RevRal 17y agoI have never gotten the digital copies, that come with some blu ray movies, to work. I have to turn around and use a torrent. I feel smug about it too. Serves them right.
- chrischen 17y agoThey probably wouldn't care, since you bought the blu-ray already.

- RevRal 17y agoI would say that they'd, at the very least, pretend that they care. The official motto of "they" should be "sharing is NOT caring." And, even though I own the blu-ray, I still shared video data with people who do not own the blu-ray. This is what they'd throw a hissy fit about.
