Because a DRM is invariably futile and only serves as a temporay hinderance.
Right... who would know more about this subject?
A consortium of extremely wealthy media moguls who have hired an army of professional researchers and analyists to ponder this subject for the last 10 years.
or
You?
There is a reason that these people are in charge of vast media empires and you are not.
The amount of consumers with the same attitude as you is statisticaly insignificant in the reality of the media world. But if it makes you feel better, sit in your home and shake your fist defiantly at your TV. The fact that you buy the content in the first place only makes them laugh harder.
Could you please explain to me why investing in DRM is throwing away money? Do you honestly think that inhibiting (not stopping) illegal copying will not net them more revenue?
'let's start a war or 2 to fix up the economy' hasn't worked
What's the basis of your conclusion? Do you expect an entire economy to make a U-turn in a few months? What would qualify as a "fixing" the economy in your mind?
...that it would be easier to just host the content themselves. The real value is in getting listed in the search results, and bandwidth is relatively cheap compared to the complexity of a system that tracks and pays random idiots on the net.
Of course, I am probably wrong.
How much coverage do you want? How much information can a media company give you about a bunch of people with posters running around screaming? Where is the value in this, other than a quick acknowledgement of the event? This is not news.

How many of them are actually going to figure out how to rip a copy-protected DVD before it expires? More importantly, how many more are NOT going to?

Los Angeles has mta.net.
Ones official signature does not have to be in cursive.
It's probably more centered around the fact that statisticaly these people don't VOTE.
Which file under /etc? There are almost 200 of them in there, and most of them don't have logical names.
Stop right there.
Wow, your figures are so convincing, except you completely left out that pesky dimension called "time". Pop in another quarter and try again.

From watching all of the college students that I know, it seems like most of them would benefit from an alarm clock more than anything else.

The registry has ACLS, just like the filesystem. You can only screw up the keys that you have access to (namely, your own personal profile).
I have been to Cal Poly SLO. There is no life there.
Would a document trail "generated" by the Linux community be admissible as evidence in court?
Why don't you just take all of the money from the rich and give it to the poor. That will make this country successful, eh comrade?
If nobody deletes anything, how are we supposed to keep track of which information is still correct?
Then after a quick chuckle to himself, he decided it was safe enough to take out a few million to buy more yachts.
Would you prefer it if soldiers died due to a flaw in Linux? Maybe they could post a message to a support board from the battlefield.
Wow I bet they never thought of that! +5 insightful!
Very insightful. I bet the Pentagon never thought of this!
Agreed, Americans will never get ANYWHERE. They will never become the most powerful nation in the world.
