But, the thing is, DRM does not protect the artist or record label, strong copyright laws do. Pirates can and will circumvent every DRM scheme created, but you can still prosecute them. That's how the law, not DRM, protects content owners. And because human judges are involved, all sorts of fair use exceptions are protected too...theoretically at least... So as long as we're hypothesizing about the perfect DRM, we have to come to terms with two uncomfortable facts: DRM will always be broken, and DRM doesn't ever actually protect artists and labels. Other than that, though, I don't have a problem with it either ;) -- CatBus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CatBus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7461 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53460 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
