its hard to be a critic against microsoft for having DRM. we're facing a world where piracy is rampant.
Microsoft see a business opportunity in DRM as do many other companies. It's against the law to pirate - but ill be the first to admit im not innocent... hell, recording a tvshow onto your vcr is dubbed illegal.
But lets live in a realistic world, who can think of a better way to stamp out piracy and protect the rights of artists and record companies. I hate the MPAA - but we're living in a world based on the all mighty dollar. ppl dont do things for free, u need money, i need money, thats what its all about - protecting the rights of business to sell products to consumers. its not fair that some get things illegally and others abide the law.
Just look at the state of gaming - not even nintendo can protect their wii against pirates.... ninentedo may be making alot of money - but if they arent supported, then kiss nintendo goodbye and all the great games u enjoy - nobody with a brain makes something valueable and gives it away for free.
good for DRM - i support it!
