Which is the point I always make about DRM...
Perhaps we were wrong to make unprotected movies available, but we did it (are still doing it) for 10 years. Then along comes DRM and instead of everyone in this business seeing it as a useful way to protect their content against unauthorized use, the neanderthals start beating up their own customers with it, thinking this will somehow persuade them to spend more money.
All it has acheived is to turn a potentially useful tool into the enemy and burn out some more of our market.
