drm is not to control piracy but to control legitimate ownership.
- tshaddox 5y agoIt’s actually to control the manufacturers of legitimate hardware and software involved in playing back media. They know that anyone who wants to can pirate their stuff, and they’re not going to go after them. But legit companies can’t just sell HDMI splitters, capture cards, etc. that strip DRM.
- shmerl 5y agoDRM is to control, that's about it. Whether it's ownership or whatever is already irrelevant. For example DRM can be used to control the market (as an anti-competitive measure). In practice, DRM never has a good reason.
