This is spreading but still we must try to stop it. We will fail as we have failed so many times in the past but still we must try.
Say, we fought against DRM and while the music industry have completely abandoned it, that victory turns out to be useless because the video streaming industry have embraced it total and there's not even resistance against it this time.
I am so, so tired of fighting against these. I translated Doctorow's anti DRM speech in 2004 into my native tongue as one of my last acts as a Hungarian journalist. We have been fighting for so long. And the DRM war is lost.
Nonetheless , we need to stand. We, who have the privilege to be able to say "meh, I quit" because we know the next job is just days away. We need to for the sake of all those who do not have such a privilege.
