Comment DRM will fail in the end! (Score 1) 686

There will be always a way to break the DRM. We should learn from history, for us humans it tends to repeat (remember all the attempts to protect movie DVD's, in the end, it's easy to copy them). The Movie and Music Industries will be forced to become efficient operations that can't afford to waste money in extravagant productions. Something similar to what has happened to the Banking industry where they would spend obnoxious amounts of money on their operations (luxury buildings, expensive art, excess of staff and overpaid managers, etc.), and were used to make huge profit margins. Now they run a more efficient business that has reduced its costs and its margins. It is ridiculous the amount of money that the people involved in these industries make, i.e. a Movie Director's Assistant makes a minimum of $200,000 a year. They are not to blame though, we are because we buy their overpriced product (we don't know any better because the industry behaves like a Monopoly). However, technology is going to make that industry efficient whether they like it or not. Same goes for Real Estate Agents, they are going to start making money proportional to the service they provide. In most of the cases, their service is not worth the standard 3% commission. God bless Technology!
