@ZySoua @drq the reason DRM exists isn't to fight piracy. That's just an excuse, numerous studies have proven that piracy does not harm media sales. DRM developers are well aware of this.

DRM is sold because

1. DRM companies give kickbacks
2. DRM is a fun legal way to fight competition
@newt @ZySoua @drq piracy does hurt you when they cost you bandwidth, but otherwise :neocat_woozy:
@newt @ZySoua @drq although before giving money to the beast consider Disney recently tried to use a forced arbitration clause in a disney+ subscription to get out of a homicide† charge

@icedquinn @ZySoua @drq i don't think any judge would grant this motion. Furthermore, this alone would hurt their PR a lot more than just settling this lawsuit out of court.
