Repeal and outlaw drm. It was a mistake that violates everyone's constitutional rights.

“constitutional rights”

Words written on toilet paper. Only thing that exists today are “billionaire rights”.

Exactly. DRM isn’t going anywhere so long as copyrights exist.
Not even that. Companies are already lobbying massively for selective enforcement of copyright as to not harm the AI boom (immediate jail terms for individuals torrenting a movie, "it's a complex issue" for AI companies scraping the entire internet)

But even the DRM that is already there often only uses copyright laws as suggestions. E.g. YouTube's takedown guidelines are defined through their TOS, not through the DMCA.

Are there billionaires in the room with us right now?
