I H8 DRM
30th Mar 2006, 01:10 GMT
Silly rabbit! DRM is for companies to feel better about giving you their precious, precious content! What would happen if someone figured out how to crack CSS, AAC, or even WMV encryption? Anarchy! Lost profits! Horror! Oh, wait. Anyway, here's an entire website dedicated to hating DRM. We encourage you to blow this site up with your rants and haterage. And then purchase the next iPod Pepto with uber-ninja DRM++. The marketing and PR companies want you to believe that they are combating piracy of their content. This is completely untrue. Every DRM scheme out there can be easily defeated by a person with the will, time, and money (aka pirates). So what is DRM really designed to do? Well, someone had to say it!
