What’s the value of a bit? It seems that going after folks who have traded songs or movies online is a huge expenditure of effort and money. Is DRM-protected content the way to go? If you don’t agree, propose another method for the distribution of digital multimedia so that content creators can still be compensated.
Everyone downloads illegal music or movies even though they may not know it. I feel DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected content is a bad way to protect from illegal downloads. It has so many restrictions and is difficult for consumers to download legal music and movies. A way for content creators to be compensated for downloads and for people to stop downloading illegally, they can let consumers pay a one-time fixed rate for unlimited downloads. More accessibility to share and copy music for those in colleges would also be a great option.
