But there is a big difference. If someone breaks a lock they get into your house, but if someone breaks DRM, DRM-less copies of that movie will be on the pirate bay within a day. Then users copy the DRM-less copies willy-nilly.
Directly controlling the distribution of digital artifacts is nearly impossible.

- MichaelGG 14y agoIf you want to expand DRM to mean "all information security, anytime, anywhere", then you can coerce truth out of your statement. But such a definition of DRM is pointless and tries to brush over the fact that actual DRM implementations (as in copy-protection schemes used by Amazon, iTunes, Bluray, etc.) are worthless.
