But the reason why DRM will never work is because your average user is not the one that cracks the DRM. The pirates crack the DRM, and the average user downloads it over Bittorrent.
The only way to reduce casual piracy is to convince people that they should pay for your product.
- JesseAldridge 18y agoOk, maybe I'm using the wrong term, but what I mean by "DRM" is anything that inhibits piracy. This can include stuff like when the music industry put those mangled mp3s on Kazaa. Anything that makes piracy less convenient will lead to more people paying for the product. Even if piracy can't be completely prevented, it can still be significantly mitigated, it's just a question of engineering.
