Re: All the whining in the world...
DRM does not stop piracy.
What would help piracy is to make buying it legitimately actually be more convenient than pirating.
If you could buy it easily, in a format that would be yours forever (so no server shutdowns to worry about), that you could play on whatever device you wanted when you wanted, could re-encode into a format needed for your device easily, then that would be what one would do. As long as a legitimately bought version is less functional than the pirated version, people will be willing to go through the hassle of finding a pirated version.
