Re: [Trisquel-users] DRM may be added to JPEG format in the future

I think you guys are giving the effectiveness of digital restrictions at  
stopping unauthorized copying too much credit. It would take a jail operating  
system to be truly effective at the task, and even with that, it's possible  
to bypass it entirely by using any transmission to a monitor that doesn't  
support digital restrictions, perhaps even an analog one like VGA.

Stopping unauthorized copying isn't what digital restrictions are good at.  
What they're good at is extracting extra money out of legitimate customers.  
For example, making them pay again to watch the same movie they bought on  
DVD, but on their phones. If CDs had been defective by design, for example,  
people today probably would only be able to legally listen to music on  
portable devices using streaming services they would have to pay to use.
