I don't know that cease and desist orders do anything more than alert piracy website owners that it's time to move.
I agree with you that DRM is effective against casual sharing, not piracy.Most people on this forum continue to miss that distinction. |
Perhaps because this is not a site that advocates piracy (or data wants to be free)?
Unfortunately, the genie is out of the bottle, and has been for many years. Like it or not. (I don't). Creators that don't realize this are doomed to fail over the long term. You aren't going to stuff the genie back into the bottle. It hasn't work for recreational drugs or illegal immigration, why do you expect draconian laws will work on I.P.
That's the real advantage of the move to Cloud Computing for copyright holders, it maintains easier trackability and discourages local storage...
