> Being opposed to DRM doesn't mean that one is opposed to copyright Not in your case but now think rationally:
DRM is a device that intellectual property holders use to protect illegal use of their digital product. In a world where everyone is perfectly honest it would not be needed. It's never been needed in the past becuase data was not digital. It's becoming the critical issue of the day as data does move digital. It's absolutely clear that people are not perfectly honest, in most people are only prevented from breaking the law by fear of punsihment or physical devices that prevent them. That's why houses have locks on the door, why airports have scanners so nutter don't blow themselves up, why most countries make you carry an id card, why most countries don't let you buy handguns, and we have prisions filled with people (by the way did you know that in america you have the largest prison population in the world both by number and proportion - a stereotype to keep you happy :-). DRM is very obviously a necessary evil. -- willyhoops ------------------------------------------------------------------------ willyhoops's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10563 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34928 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
