  1. Comment - Gates: Blu-ray DRM is 'Anti-Consumer'

    I personally know of a case where a person purchased a $1200.00 audio editing program after downloading a cracked copy to try it out. Before downloading said copy he would never have even considered purchasing such an expensive program.

    The truth is that piracy is good free advertising if the product is of good quality, regardless of what it is - software, music, or video. It only hurts the sales of inferior junk that should never have been released to begin with.

    In reality, no DRM is useful for protecting anything.

    Expensive and, I imagine, quite unreliable. Double the number of moving parts = double the problems. They'll be dropping like flies!

    "Besides, the problem isn't with the person (not speaking of the crack wh*** here) it's with the laws that support the problem."

    Huh? What laws are you referring to? I know of no law requiring parents to buy GTA SA for their kids - or preventing them from denying it to same.
