That's said tongue-in-cheek, I know, Elfwreck. There's a massive amount of clear evidence out there that DRM protects authors' rights as effectively as a 'strictly no insects' sign in your garden protects against mosquitoes. Cheers. Neil
I'm sure it protects at least as well as spraying the lawn at random intervals with bug spray. Which means it stops some of the nuisance, and convinces a lot of people to go elsewhere for their entertainment.
