Comment "If not DRM then what?" (Score 1) 424
When somebody can give me a sound, scalable, generic and implementable economic design for goods that cost money to build the first time but are free to copy from then on, I might start to protest against DRM, because I'd actually have an answer to the question of "If not DRM then what?". Until then I'll continue to argue the case for it, use it despite the inconvenience and who knows, maybe even implement it in future.
Why continue to support companies that use your hard earned money to develop totally useless technologies, that only screw you, the paying customer, not real pirates?
Make a great product, people will buy it, and some will try to steal it.
That's life in business. Don't want to deal with reality, get out of business. And all DRM is, is the Corporate Copyright Elite refusing to deal with reality.
My solution, therefore, is to put the MAFIAA members, and their sycophants, into therapy, so that they can finally admit their problem. We, the people, aren't their sheep for them to rape any longer. Better find a business model that can thrive on selling songs for mere pennies. Cuz at a buck a song with DRM, the only fools you'll find to do that, are AppleFanBoys, who already enjoy getting raped by Jobs way too much.
