You fund creators from corporate revenue, though. They aren't going to make any money if there is no DRM either. There also have been plenty of independent publishers and small studios that have been hurt by piracy and the lack of DRM, too.
- ska 10y agoSort of, as there are other models. What I'm objecting to is the claim that a) DRM is just necessary and b) we are talking about it as a mechanism to fund content creators. a) is simply not true b) is mostly not true - DRM is used to prop up a desired business model for many layers between consumers and content creators - the content creators incidentally get a small part of the revenue, but that isn't really what the conversation is about So if we are talking about these things, we should at least be honest about what we are talking about funding, and how.
