In the scenario "Now you can watch Netflix" (which entails implementation of DRM), who is being screwed?
- riffraff 12y agoto continue the simile, that is like asking in the scenario of "you can get more bandwidth" who is being screwed? And the answer is: the same person, if you just look at the whole issue instead of the single positive angle. Of course, if you think that DRM is a good thing (i.e. inability to have open source implementations, need to load binary blobs, limiting use of content to what the provider decides etc) then yes, DRM is exactly like encryption for you. Yet, since there is a substantial number of people who do _not_ believe it, this still makes the two things different.
