People used to say the same about music before iTunes went DRM-free. In the long run, universal computers have far more value than audiovisual media. And you can explain what Hollywood wants without taking their side.
- vinceguidry 10y agoMusic is a different animal. I can listen to a piece of music hundreds of times. I'll only watch a movie once, even the most diehard will only watch a movie at most dozens of times. I'm going to notice restrictions on my music way way sooner than I'll notice them on my movies. My only real objection to DRM on movies is philosophical, while my objection to DRM in music is practical, as in, I'll pirate my music if I can't move it around.
