This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff

Hard-coded DRM and honor-system intellectual property management aren't, in modern applications of rights management, waterproof seals against piracy. Instead, they're more like psychological turbines. It makes it a little more inconvenient or difficult to pirate intellectual property, encouraging purchases and generating profit from people who, for whatever reason, find the price a worthy cost for avoiding the inconvenience or unbearably guilt-wracked sleepless nights of piracy.

That said, I pirate music like the dickens because I really don't music enough to justify purchasing it to myself.
