> it's a good compromise in a capitalist society where artists need to make money for what they produce in order to feed themselves Funny, I haven't heard many artists clamoring for DRM, and the ones who do tend to be well beyond the feeding-themselves step on Maslow's Hierarchy. No, it is, as always, the distributors. That's because DRM hurts artists but entrenches distributors. It is a shitty compromise because it is the start of a closed web.
