My point exactly.

ETA: DiapDealer, who may be one of the original contributors to DeDRM, posted the following a while back. I have taken it increasingly to heart, especially with Amazon clamping down.

In my opinion, making it possible to remove DRM was always a good thing. But making it relatively trivial to do so was a mistake.

It has been my experience that triviality tends to breed complacency and a sense of entitlement that, in my opinion, will cause more harm than it will help.

The info needed to find it on github is here in a thread on MR. I've used it several times successfully.

Actually, most new users will have PMs enabled. From my experience with a few thousand image requests, about 85% will have their PMs enabled out of the box.

I've sent rohitpurohit a PM for what it may be worth.

You've probably disabled your PMs. Check your settings.

I checked and they appear to have PMs enabled when I click on the user name. I sent a test PM and it shows as sent on my end.

Yes, PMs are enabled now. They weren't when I posted before. No idea why the delay.

At least now we're heading back down the road that aligns with the quote below. BTW, a huge thanks to Sirtel for enlightening the rabble... of which I am a part.
