- luch 3y agoTotally, DRM technologies aims to control the distribution, the consumer side is almost irrelevant here. the DRM industry gets away with it since consumers don't care about openness or libre, they just want to watch videos in hi definition.
- webmobdev 3y agoWhat choice do you think consumers have?
- Am4TIfIsER0ppos 3y agoConsumers have the choice to pirate. Nay. The moral imperative. Fuck hollywood.
- Fnoord 3y agoOr watch a lower quality Widevine certified (L3 is easy to reach), or watch linear TV, or circumvent copyright protection such as DeCSS.
- dismalpedigree 3y agoArg!
- retrocryptid 3y agoCOPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT IS YOUR BEST ENTERTAINMENT VALUE.
- luch 3y agoThey have to choice to elect representatives that will legiferate on it, such as the EU with Apple regarding USB-C or app store sideloading.
- michaelt 3y agoSo should I be voting Democrat or Republican to get that? /s
- nathanlied 3y agoYou should vote to join the EU, maybe it'll work!
- 0cVlTeIATBs 3y agoTheoretically, "thrown away" votes for the Pirate party would get attention from red and/or blue both if there were enough of them.
- omeid2 3y agoAsk for ranked voting so you don't have to throw away your vote.
- PeterisP 3y agoThe licensing costs you list are tiny and irrelevant as a revenue stream, and seem just like something in the ballpark to cover the overhead (legal, etc) of that licensing and distribution. For a manufacturer making a million devices, a literal 1 cent per device is not a major change, and on Hollywood scale collecting a five-figure amount per manufacturer isn't meaningful either.
- formerly_proven 3y ago"digital-cp.com" is kind of an unfortunate domain name.
- Fnoord 3y agoHeh, yeah. But one form of cp isn't socially accepted at all, while the other one is. The one which is, is much much much easier to find. Now that I think of it: it (rampant piracy of audio and video) is a great practical example to teens why they should not share pictures of themselves naked. If someone wants to, it gets spread. Even if there's 'copyright protection'. In some circles, Snapchat is seen as seriously private. Which is very ignorant, and has lead to situations like blackmailing and retaliation porn.
