  1. just like guns? on Using Watermarks to Combat Piracy · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Does this mean owning music files = owning guns ?
    If someone steal the music files and upload, then the owner is responsible for the act? Maybe there also needs to be a DRM police site where we reported the mp3 stolen?
    Doesn't this approach have similar consequences to 70 yr old grandma or 12 yr old kids whose files stolen but charged for distributing mp3? How about lost or stolen ipod?
    Does it also mean we need to physically smack the old hard disk to bits and pieces so no one can 'steal' mp3?
    If owning the mp3 is going to be so much hassle, I'd rather not buy them.
