ok... this thread has way to much in it for me to read the whole damn thing...
but DRM is definitely a good assistance to protecting your content. I saw someone asked if anyone actually uses DRM, well... Netflix uses WM DRM, and I think they might be kinda big
Of course any sort of encryption can be broken, but it's better to have it than to not.
Nothing is going to stop people from taking DVD content and putting it online.
And... I'm not a lawyer or anything, but I would imagine that the only way to even consider taking down tube sites, would be class action suits from all the studios with stolen content on a tube site. Doing that nonsense one at a time will never come together.
I'll let yall know when I have content tracking setup for all these sites. I'm sick of the bottom feeder thieves.
