Hello,

I would like to add this 'technology terminology knowledge' poll(statistics).

Is this based on: "What I think DRM is" or "What I think DRM should be?" cos I voted on the former

It is based on "What I think Digital Rights Management is". I think a different poll could be used for "What I think DRM is". DRM is an initialism (link). (I'm not very good at expressing myself, but I get better)

I hate DVD's with all that crap at the beginning "You wouldn't steal a car... blah blah blah... don't pirate DVD's... blah... funding terrorists... blah... endangering the film industry... blah". And the annoying thing is I can't skip it. I've just got to sit there and be lectured at while the crap plays before I can watch the film that I've legitimately paid for. :evil:

The funny part is a real pirated copy probably had that part cut out for you.

Its a removal of your rights as a consumer. It treats you like a criminal, and does nothing but promote piracy.

Next some corporate agency will burst through your door just because you're ripping it to your computer to load it onto your MP3 player.

Digital music players are convenient, and they can play usually more formats than MP3. You can listen to music legally for example from jamendo.com. Most CC

Good luck getting that to hold up in court. It's legal for them to host the stuff (which they don't - they host the torrent file, not the copyrighted works. That's what kept them out of trouble for so long), but for you to download it? I'm not sure what the copyright laws are like in finland, but in Australia/USA/etc. it doesn't matter where the stuff is hosted. If you download it in Australia, then it's subject to Australian law.

Also, I think they're in Ukraine at at the moment.
