What DRM system has actually been effective in reducing piracy? I think the more modern usage of DRM is aimed at market segmentation and control, which might also be in the best interest of supply. However, these DRM systems require the user to use an unknown, "black box" decrypter to keep the content out of their hands. This wouldn't bother me if you could choose to not use the black box (as they are inherently insecure, obviously the decryption key can be extracted and used without the black box), but that is currently illegal. Therefore, I don't consider the current usage of DRM to be ethical. I would actually be more supportive of DRM if it stood by its own merits - without government backing to try to paper over broken implementations. |
