What are you talking about? Every popular TV show or movie is hosted on a free platform (free meaning both no cost and allowing freedom). How is that "working in practice"?
- sev 9y agoWe are taking about DRM here. How do you know they are being stolen by breaking DRM? Maybe they copy DVD's or screeners or hacking a content provider. Not necessarily bypassing DRM. Some that do that I've seen are very low quality, hence my statement about lossless.
- benchaney 9y agoEither way, DRM isn't "working in practice" if all the information it purports to protect is publicly available. DVD's have (broken) DRM, so ripping a DVD counts as breaking DRM. Screeners are also a work around for DRM. Hacking a content provider wouldn't provide the constant stream of content that is available from various separate companies. I think that denying that DRM is broken requires some pretty serious ignorance of the reality of the situation.
