So, enforcing some rules (via DRM) to the player manufacturing, content provider makes my experience worse as a consumer.
Again, I am a consumer, what is the advantages of DRM for me? So manufacturer must enforce me watching ads?
- IanCal 12y agoThe argument would be that it is necessary to keep people paying for legit copies (ones that pay the original producer). Same as having a branch of the tax office dedicated to finding fraud, it has absolutely no direct benefit to a good taxpayer and only downsides. It's there because it's argued to be necessary to keep tax revenue at the point it should be. The first part is what's being argued about, I don't think anyone is arguing it has a direct benefit to consumers.
