> an industry (small or large) that needs to cripple its products in order for people to be willing to pay for it

you are very strange. your goal appears to be primarily to annoy me. I admitted that I found your comments rude, and you still keep going. do you get pleasure from this ? do you just look for any argument on the internet about piracy and then show up to argue ?

you even purposely INCLUDE small music labels in your statement above. this comes after me pointing out to you that none of the thousands of labels and musicians that I have known and worked with have done any of this DRM stuff that you are so obsessed about. none of them.

none of them "cripple" their product.

that's sociopathic behavior. just so you know.

I'm sorry if I've offended you. My intention was to discuss the merits and demerits of rights management. My follow up comment was an effort to clear up my point of view, not necessarily to change yours. I'm not sure I did a good job of the former, considering your response -- but I don't think I've much to add at this point.
