And yes, I know I came off as "all old people are Aunt Mabels." That isn't what I meant--it's just some observations from a few book groups I'm on. I'm closer to Aunt Mabel than not and I'm quite certain I could download from torrent sites if I so choose. What I won't do as an Aunt Mabel is help other people install or do it.  |
You see the final fallback argument many ofl these anti-DRM types use is something like "Don't make them mad. You can't stop them. "
Well, it is true I can't stop a thief with a gun, a knife or a brick from taking my money if he gets the chance, but I can sure make it as difficult as possible. And if he complains "Why don't you just give me the money and save me all this trouble?" I will laugh at him just like I do with the Anti-DRM types.
A thief is a thief.
A thug is a thug.
