I think most hackers understand this. Turned around, it's the basic argument against DRM - that for the 'consumer' to access the content it must be unlocked.
- bobbles 12y agoYeah the most restrictive form of DRM in the world means nothing if I can just record a video of it / transcribe it
- Tloewald 12y agoWell it involves a generation loss
- jacquesm 12y agoUntil recently that was the norm and usually the information survives such copying for several generations before it becomes unusable.
- vidarh 12y agoAnd furthermore, most content businesses is facing a reality where they are having a hard time getting users to pay more for higher quality versions, yet the higher quality versions exists. If users have to settle for "only" DVD quality rips of content ripped from Bluray, for example, most wouldn't care. That problem is going to make DRM increasingly pointless with pushes for 4K and beyond.
