Are you trying to say that half of america is a lost cause? It's most likely this kind of stupid and simplistic collectivist kind of thought that put trump where he is. Anyone with half a brain would have crushed him by simply listening to the country and well giving concrete plans to solve the issues the population are actually worried about, instead of just hunting green frogs over the internet and guessworking what people wanted by their stereotypes like Hillary did.
All DRM does in practice is turning the pirate game better than the original product, which encourages people to get this instead.
The strategy that has been working and brilliantly is to just make the original more accessible, as steam/GoG does. It's not always that you can find the game you want on the store (specially if you don't live on a big city in a first world country), and you need to go to the store in first place, while on the internet you just search, click and it is yours. Before steam/GoG/etc, only piracy had that massive advantage but now you not only get the game, as you get an easy way to play multiplayer with your friends, achievments, bragging rights..
It end being in a way or another. Even if you're "helping a race", you end damaging em more than actually helping, because you're objectifying the individuals, erasing their personal goals, merits and turning em into dolls of a particular color of skin. It's just a stupid and imprecise way to judge people.
"Hey! your video panning the latest EA (tm) game is systematically discriminating against the group of people known as Electronic arts employees, Demonetized!"
It's always like this. They start quite good, then feature bloat comes, stupid decisions come, a flood of shit you can send come, and then it starts to eat too much memory and people move over to the next thing. ICQ,AOL,MSN,Skype..
Well, ideally your merit should be measured on how much profit you do generate for the company etc, rather than the profit you make personally, but there are several, several, several ways around it. But instead of trying to solve by this side, many people try to solve the issue with the direct equality of outcome measures, in ways that work more about leveling down the ones that succeeded rather than increasing the chances of the ones that didn't.
Equality is actually a quite noble goal to strive for, equality of opportunity, that is. But seems like the two sides of "that fight" don't actually want it.
Those chat programs are the best because you actually befriend people on em, instead of just collecting people like pokemon and never actually talking much to em.
It is not a very good idea because it violates one basic rule: you never make the pirate product better than the original product. As you pointed out, it makes difficult but not impossible, which means that as soon your DRM gets cracked, the pirate version will not be hampered by the DRM while the original, paid for one will.
Things like netflix are a much better weapon against piracy because they simply simplify the process of buying the original so much, your laziness gets you. But the fact netflix is not an product of the media industry kinda shows how out of touch they are.
x86 is just a small translator circuitry between the code and a very powerful and efficient RISC processor. All it does in practice is act like a code compression of sorts.
I doubt they listened to people like you to come up with this decision. Also Macron should actually handle the problems that half of the population are afraid of, or well, france does have a history of bringing guillotines to the discussion.

It's very foolish to have your original product worse than the pirate one.
If you're talking about hate on a specific "race", you would have to ban pretty much everyone politicized from twitter to accomplish that.

Judging people by their "race" at all is racism.

When the opposition is reduced to people that can only scream empty buzzwords, even someone like trump can win.
Is that you never, ever, EVER give the president a power that you will regret later when someone like Trump steps in.
But on other hand, the money they will lose with the inefficient monkey code...
Someone has to write the interpreters/compilers for java or .net.
You did good, but sadly there's too much money and corruption keeping it down.
You mean the water on mario's feet he uses to accumulates enough speed to perform the parallel universe traveling?
In the good universe, both lost because the US have several viable parties there.

You just handed the election to anyone that says "we're doing the brexit thing, but not cutting the internet off".
If its a feature, why you can't disable or see how it works?

It's even remotely possible to come up with a fortran compiler for GPUs?
