When you're infecting my community with tolerance for DRM (using, stripping, accepting), it becomes my business. That's what an eco-system is all about. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Teaching people how to work with DRM is not healthy or respectable since it essentially puts other parties in complete control rather than the user. It is far more honorable to teach others why DRM is not something that should be endured to begin with. The best way to do that is obviously by example. When you teach people how to circumvent the controls put in place by DRM, you're essentially teaching them how to be little criminals and adding credibility to Big Content's claims that we're all just a bunch of little "pirates" who need to be controlled, monitored, and prosecuted.
In fact, Big Content loves that people crack DRM. It gives them all the justification they need to lobby for more protection and backing from our government.
Still think this issue is as petty as a little Internet forum flame? If so, get your head out of your !$!!@#$! and wake up. This is about control; who has it and who does not. Do you think you have it because you're holding a license from a particular vendor? Think again.
