Re: FN-FORUM: Advice on DRM needed

Hey Vicky,
DRM??? Hmmm, I support it. After all, if you made something that
would be subject to having DRM applied to it, would you want your
product to be stolen and taken advantage of by potentially the world
then gain nothing from it yourself?
Yes it is an inconvenience, but that is because people steal music,
but you need to protect your own property don't you? If people didn't
steal music, it wouldn't be needed. Like Steve Jobs says, music
companies insist on it to stop it from being stolen. As far as your
subject goes, I myself would stay away from it and leave the
controversy to itself.
A positive experience of DRM is that it makes music safe, no risk of
spyware of virus's getting on your computer, because with iTunes, you
know what you are downloading and it is safe, it keeps bad stuff off
my mac's and pc, and keeps my kids safe when they use them.

Works for me.
