DRM is just snake oil ripping off the Entertainment Industry
The bottom line is that once in the PC, bits are bits. So no matter how sophisticated the DRM on the disk is or built into the DVD drive firmware, all music and movies have to be reduced to 100% vulnerability before being sent to the display and speakers. The Entertainment Industry is run by technologically unsophisticated folks, who are fed a constant stream of DRM snake oil by the DRM industry. People copying DVD’s and CD’s for personal use might be depriving the Entertainment Industry out of lost opportunity revenue, but the crooks in the DRM Industry are depriving the Entertainment Industry out of real cash selling the Entertainment Industry fundamentally flawed DRM scheme after scheme, knowing that all DRM schemes can be worked around due to the intrinsic nature of converting digital information into sight and sound.
