I can assure you there will be a 11,...12, .....13... and so on. Each one predicted to be the chicken little death or whatever comes next. Each one griping about copyright or something or another. Typically a lot of crying by people fighting technology and change.

Google, search engines, YouTube have changed what has become accepted as 'the norm'. Whether you like it or not as a copyright holder. You had better learn to find a way to monetize or lock down your content.

No one told you that you should abandon DRM. People just chose to do it. Claiming customers hated it, and so on and so forth. I am sure there will come along some technology to 'fingerprint' your shit in the next few years for what is copy-written or not. People will still hack, crack, or steal it.

This is a lot like fuzz busters. Each time the government comes out with a new speed gun, escort is there with a new radar detector. It has always been this way. It will always be this way. Learn to play by the rules as they are, or go buy yourself a beer to cry in.
