Therein lies the real truth of DRM

No. The real truth is that it is an emerging technology and will have to
be
developed in such a way as to be fair to all concerned. Slamming DRM
itself is like saying I don't like laws or protections against thievery.

No, slamming DRM is like saying that I resent companies I do business
with assuming I'm a thief. DRM does not dissuade thieves, it just makes
the lives of actual customers more difficult.

The way to deal with thieves is to prosecute them, not to turn your
whole society into a paranoid police state.

NO. Stop slamming "DRM" instead encourage better implementation of it.

Fact is the huge list of all those kids and losers who were/are doing the
most personal piracy are KIDS and locking them up is not feasible. They
don't have the maturity to comprehend what they are doing to their favorite
artists.
