Just because some horrible thing currently happens to exist doesn't mean you need to (explicitly or implicitly) endorse it.
We should make implementing DRM as expensive and inconvenient as possible.
- nobodyorother 9y agoTotally! We're going to have to start by making sure we never standardize it. </sarcasm>
- wyager 9y agoYes, absolutely. What's confusing about that? If the DRM benefactors have to keep developing shitty, expensive, unsupported plugins that need to use unofficial APIs and therefore be updated all the time, it's going to cost a lot more to use DRM.
- _dev_pts_0 9y agoAlthough I share your enthusiasm, I don't think closing the barn door after the horse left is going to help. Customers have to organize and demand an end to DRM by force of withholding money, clicks and eyeballs ... "Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will." - Frederick Douglass
- wyager 9y agoI'm not sure what your analogy is supposed to express, but this isn't some ideological stand; it's a simple matter of increasing maintenance costs for DRM software.
