DRM

I’m sorry, but whoever came up with the idea of Digital Rights Management needs to be shot. DRM is used on digital media, such as MP3s to prevent copyright abuse. However, it has gone way too far and stepped over the bounds of its original intent.

If I buy a CD, then I’m entitled to play it on any device I want. But if I download an MP3, then for some reason, I’m only allowed to use it on the computer I downloaded it on.

That’s not copyright protection, that’s barely legal racketeering.

DRM has gone too far! It’s time we said ‘Enough!’
