Kind of a general question to all here.

Ah my friend tread carefully here!
The
AntiDRM Sect is one of absolutes!
There is no philosophy or moral ground to discuss
and the AntiDRM sect doesn't utilize reason or logic
that might be analyzed.
There is no need. Only the Dictum is necessary
and it is given forth to the Devout by the
Shaman (who must not be named) but is eerily
apparent by his omnipresence, and shrieking.
The Dictum is chanted constantly by the Devout,
the followers of the Sect and the Shaman, but the chant is
made unintelligible by the screaming
and frothing forth of the refrains of the Devout in response to
the mighty Shaman's constant strange circular utterances.
The uninitiated and UN-anointed (that is you and me) usually
get the impression that:
A) DRM is the Demon, and is bad, and evil too
B) DMR is losing and will be thrown down by the righteous AKA
those faithful to the Dictum and who swear
obeisance to the Shaman.
C) The publishers, sellers and authors must be sacrificed
on the great AntiDRM altar for their sins against the Devout
and their reliance on the DRM Demon.
If someone dares to question, or even meet the gaze of the
Shaman or the Devout, a Fatwa will be issued against that
one for he must be possessed by the DRM Demon and so
must be ripped. stripped and purged of that ultimate Demon,
DRM.
