Cool. I see the personal attacks have restarted too. I think we have all seen the end of this movie. Bye.

Well, when your average user probably frequents Pirate Bay, it doesn't accomplish that either. Furthermore, stripping DRM is well within the tech reach of your average user. Look above - one of our own just did that to share with his wife and it reportedly took "10 seconds."
DRM doesn't stop anything, period. It really doesn't matter where you approach it from, the answer is still the same.
Although I don't get how this addresses DRM-stripping at all, a focal point of my and most other peoples' posts. DRM-stripping has nothing to do with piracy necessarily. It's far more likely to have something to do with... casual sharing. Do try to follow along.
