Wrong, neither I nor anyone in industry believes DRM "works" in that sense. You're misunderstanding the purpose of DRM, see my other comment: https://news.ycom

- flukus 10y agoI don't understand your clarification either: > The point of enforcing DRM is not to prevent piracy, but rather to flex their market clout and demonstrate control. I don't see how DRM does this. The amount they've spent compared to the results they've got seems to demonstrate a complete lack of control to me. >As long as they put up moderate barriers to ripping, and as long as they have legal sanction to suppress productized piracy, the steady stream of new must-have content allows them to throw their weight around. What does DRM do to prevent productized piracy? >Licensing streaming without DRM is a slippery slope that decreases the perceived value of their content. So the choose to increase the real value of it instead?
