Sadly it's the criminals who spoil it for the rest of us and make some publishers believe that DRM is necessary.
No, it's the publisher who spoils it for the rest of us. The criminal does not do anything to me. The criminal is the lucky one who doesn't have to put up with that s*&#. And HarryT, anyone who strips DRM falls under that label, not just the file sharers.
