There is no material with DRM that people NEED. I repeat, there is nothing you need that has DRM. You may WANT something with DRM. That is your problem.

The media company controls you because you want what they have (movies, music, books, etc). Do not desire what they have, and you eliminate their control over you.

Are you shitting me?

A couple quotes from Lessig’s books I pasted a few months ago:

“Control, as I have argued, is not necessarily bad. Copyright is a critical part of the process of creativity; a great deal of creativity would not exist without the protections of the law. Without the law, the incentives to produce creative work would be vastly reduced. Large-budget films could not be produced; many books would not get written. Copyright is therefore an integral and crucial part of the creative process. And as it has expanded, it has expanded the opportunities for creativity.”
(Lessig, The Future of Ideas, pp. 107-08, 0375726446)

“A free culture is not a culture without property; it is not a culture in which artists don’t get paid. A culture without property, or in which creators can’t get paid, is anarchy, not freedom. Anarchy is not
what I advance here.

Instead, the free culture that I defend in this book is a balance between anarchy and control. A free culture, like a free market, is filled with property. It is filled with rules of property and contract that get enforced by the state.”
(Lessig, Free Culture, xvi, 1594200068).

Lessig is a reformist who seeks to preserve the illusion of ‘ntellectual property’ albeit in sheep’s clothing. Replacing standard copyright with some flavour of CC does nothing to question the notion of licensing itself, and thus it still supports (c)ongealment of otherwise unbridled data flows, the enclosure of information.

Lessig does nothing but advocate bigger cages and longer chains. Fuck that.

Copyleft/right are two sides of the same one sided coin. Reject all licensing.

its how i see that.

and i see that i made few spelling mistakes, english is not my native language, but i think you still can understand what i wanted to say ;)

its called irony. look it up

quote2:”what does piracy have to do with filesharing?

Ben?

tell us please”

DRM is protection used as stated, primary against pirates(that is expresion used by ppl who created and forcing DRM), but also have extendive negative effect on people who purchased the product.

torrentfreak is, as you can find in ABOUT: TorrentFreak is a weblog dedicated to bringing the latest news about BitTorrent and EVERYTHING that is closely related to this popular filesharing protocol.

hope you get the point…

Come on Torrentfreak, this is nowhere near up to your usually excellent editorial levels. Definately one of theworst written articles I’ve ever read on this great site.

what does piracy have to do with filesharing?

Ben?

tell us please …

I find it hard to read books on a PC … but thanks to the freedom engendered by Creative Commons you can read the book on your phone for free (libre and gratis). If you have internet for you phone you will be reading in a couple of clicks.
