Are There Any Good Reasons For DRM?
- general_failure 13y agoIs DRM any different from software licenses? DRM is about piracy.I do believe it brings down piracy. Just because media piracy is still there means nothing. Would you leave your house unlocked just because robberies happen anyway? Yes there is a problem that its inconvenient to get media across devices for legitemate owners. I hope this gets sorted out. It by no means make DRM useless.
- AdrianRossouw 13y agoPersonally, i am of the mindset, that they can keep on adding as much drm as they want on their systems, it will never matter. The more draconian the restrictions become, the more appealing piracy becomes. They will only succeed in chasing away their paying customers. Lastly, I always break out this when the topic comes up : What colour are your bits? - http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/entry/23 http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/entry/23 I think it illustrates why the tech community doesn't think that 'unbreakable' DRM is a solvable problem, and why the non-tech community keeps on insisting that it is.
