Average customer doesn't care about DRM. Netflix became popular because it was convenient. Yeah, DRM is inconvenient for us geeks, but that won't matter for a while.
- type0 9y agoSadly it's true. Average person don't even know that DRM exists. To extrapolate this a bit, from my experience average Windows 10 user don't even know how much spying it is there and those who know simply don't care, the same is true with DRM - the small percentage of people that know about it just don't bother to care. As a thought experiment I wonder if my relatives will start to care about it when the wedding pictures I have taken for them suddenly will be DRM so they would need to ask my permission to print each and every of one (I guess not, they probably be just mad at me).
