They ask for piracy with they way they treat their paying customers.
If I buy an audiobook I don't want to have to register a device to play it on.
I don't want to have to look up account details and go online to register a new device before I can copy my stuff across.
These industries have tried to cripple the hardware that I purchase so it would refuse to copy one of their disks.
I want to be able to make back ups.
I want to be able to lend my property.
I want to be able to sell my property.
In the unlikely event that they manage to get rid of filesharing I can only imagine how hard they'll squeeze us for ever increasing amounts of loot.
- watty 12y agoThe wonderful thing about being a consumer is that you have the right to purchase or refuse to purchase anything you want. If an audio book disallows you from reselling, don't buy the audio book. I disagree with invasive DRM but in no way does it justify piracy.
- barking 12y agoPreventing you from selling your property in this way is illegal in the eu I believe. Does the risk of piracy justify drm if it infringes on my rights?
