DRM hasn't been about stopping pirates for quite some time. I would even wonder if a lot of it has to do with contracts and good old boy deals between the publishers and the companies that produce the DRM. And, to an extent, 'The Party Line' with the rest of the content industry. But it is -interesting-, this new tack taken by EA. We can only watch, wait and hope it continues.
Lastly, this part REALLY caught my eye:
"and a sizable second sale market"
This is one of the things that DRM has really been used to curtail so I want to hear more on this aspect.
Not directly related, but something I have been pondering.
Does anyone out there know of ANYBODY who has filed for Social Security disability that has NOT been denied?
Prior to hiring a lawyer. I don't.
My mom was denied twice. I know a handful of folks personally, all denied. Until they hired a lawyer. TV is flooded with commercials about hiring a lawyer so you too can get your SS disability claim approved.
Why must you hire a lawyer to get help from the US Gov't program you are forced to pay into?
Lot of lawyers making money fighting a system made by politicians who started out as lawyers...
...section 101 limits the use of the term "copies" to material objects...
Have not the kontent kings and their minions been trying to brainwash everybody into treating digital content as material objects for years? File sharing is just like stealing a disk from your local store, right? Twisty logic and not a good road to follow, but hey...
