DRM is easy to evade by those that want to evade it. I read something on mastodon the other day that was saying some cheater hackers are using direct hardware connections to their machines to cheat.
DRM makes it difficult for Joe six pack to easily pirate, use an ad-blocker, not use one of big brother’s approved devices to get a paltry boner from watching Milf Island on Peacock, but it does nothing to people with the ways and means to get around these things…those evasive maneuvers are often illegal though.
DRM is a malignant technology just by its very nature, and this has been fought about for decades. But it’s just simply not tenable to protect the content that is being replicated on demand by a customer paying for its replication from being replicated to others.
Seriously, think about how stupid the above is for a minute.
Couldn’t agree more. The script kiddies might be out of luck but they’ll just have to go back to side channels like torrents or Usenet where the experienced hackers show off the stuff they stole.
