I completely agree - I draw a line between honest legitimate customers and pirates. I firmly believe that one should be cultivated and the other plucked like a weed. Current DRM technology is too burdensome for the legitimate customers, while it's target -the pirates, dance around it. It's like firing a shotgun into a flock of birds in order to kill the bat that flies with them. This is a technical problem and the current easy solutions aren't working.

I guess I'm advocating DRM that stops piracy and still treats me like an honest customer.
