I thought we were supposed to be outraged at having DRM forced upon us because developers don't trust us. Now we have to be concerned that "less than five percent of apps were secured against cracking"?

I find the double-standards that people have quite interesting; what was really striking to me was seeing that it was often the exact same individuals who would argue against technologies like DRM and laws like SOPA while at the same time lamenting widespread piracy and demanding effort be put into stopping it (with explicit descriptions of possible schemes that involve either DRM or centralized filters very similar to those we would see under SOPA). When you point out the hypocrisy directly, these people get quite defensive. :(
