DRM cannot work. Ever. If anybody can view it with their eyes, or listen to it with their ears, they can record it with a camera or microphone. With HD-quality video cameras, they can record what is being displayed on an HDCP-compliant display device.
Pirated media may be lower quality, but it is often still better than films shown at a modern theater where the projectionist did a poor job of focusing (which is all-too-common).
The only solution is to teach honesty and integrity (the
golden rule) at a young age, and to keep prices affordable for all...
