Actually my position was going to be one of cultural identity as it relates to capitalism and the extent to which said cultural identity warps our individual reactions to capitalistic acts.
Generally speaking, Americans are far more forgiving of companies and businesses. Europeans, with a more socialistic background, are less forgiving. Americans, generally speaking, and from my experience on this forum, see very little wrong in the extension of copyrights, the use of DRM or the often promoted idea of 'it's a business, its only function is to make money'. Again, Europeans
seem to be less forgiving of this idea.
I asked the question about your nationality because I find that whether you're European or American has a lot to do with your position on capitalism and DRM.
EDIT: and if you can make a
rational case for DRM of any kind, then I'm all ears, because you'll be the first in history to actually make that argument work
