Hurting innocent people while doing nothing to stop real criminals sure looks evil to me.
I bought a PC game some years ago for £45 ish. It was great, however, now I have windows XP the protection on the game thinks it is a copy and won't run, telling me to insert the original disc - which it is. Something to do with XP I suspect, but that does not make me feel any better not being able to use something I legally bought.
So here I am with a legal copy of the game, and downloading a crack for it so I can use it!
Just an exampe of innocent poeple, being burnt by DRM (And this is not the only example I have) - then 'They' wonder why we (consumers) are resistant to it... (DRM)
