all this effort and damage and your dumb moving pictures still end up on torrents and streaming sites hours later.
yup, but I think that the goal with DRM is not to make it impossible for people to break it, but rather make it difficult enough so that the majority of people will be discouraged from doing it, and then hope they’ll just pay for services…
On paper maybe but that’s not how piracy works. There’s usually a dedicated sharing team and majority of pirates are leeches not copyers. By that I mean it only takes 1 person to get the drm for everyone to have it.
Right sorry for the typo. One guy cracks it - every pirate has it. Drm in web case only stops legit customers from downloading the content they paid for. Surely no one is downloading shows and sharing them with friends these days right? When it’s much easier just to torrent or stream it.
This I think is quite likely. To make the path of least resistance to just give them money. It’s far easier now more than ever before. You hardly need to do anything now to perform a transaction.
Convenience and the wiring of our own brains seem to be our own worst enemy sometimes. I think it takes a special kind of person to see the long term effects of just about any decision and to choose the right path based on that foresight.

One person to get past the DRM you mean, right?

Yeah, I see your point.

Even the best of us have flaws sadly.
