There really is no point putting up a "fight". The content creators do not want to give their hardwork away. The content creators have to do whatever it takes to live. If the measures that they take legally bugs us, then we should create our own content and distribute it the way we want to or approach the courts. Talking about how a proprietary format is taking away our freedom will do nothing. And yes put your money where your mouth is. Support companies that do it the right way.
- AnthonyMouse 14y agoYour argument is that if we disagree with a preposterous law, we should have to opt out of the law by opting out of popular culture. Why shouldn't we just fix the law?
- anoncow 14y agoWe can ask courts to allow reverse engineering. We can ask them to exempt personal use and backup. We can hope to remain invisible. But even after all of that we are still beholden to these content creators who hold us in contempt(their actions prove that). And if the courts and luck don't smile on us we end up being criminals too. Look at the music industry, even if lossy, the mp3s now available do not have drm. So things will change if we want to and we won't have to shun pop culture.
- AnthonyMouse 14y agoOK sure, stop giving Hollywood money until they change their ways. Don't buy DRMed media. But fix the law too. They aren't mutually exclusive.
