I wonder what will happen once drm is cracked. At least with streaming videos the surfers has to go out of his way and try to copy it.

Interesting way to put it.

From the viewpoint of the technically savvy consumer, DRM is *always* bad. Not because the savvy consumer is a pirate, but because DRM says "you have to view and store this on *my* terms, not yours."

In the mainstream world or the porn world, I won't buy something subject to DRM if I have *any* alternative. Unique content unlike any other, available no other way, perhaps. But how many of you really have that?

DRM is customer-hostile. End of story. If you treat your customers like shoplifters, they are *more* likely to shoplift, not less. Bad business, as the PC game distributors discovered twenty years ago.

No, thats the misconception! We had quite a big problem with our stuff all over P2P and some newsgroups. DRM stops that but still gives the surfer a good deal.
