Take a little trip through the history of recording and see how DRM fits into the bigger picture.

New! A little background info at my blog:

This is also my entry to the FreeCulture.org competition. The soundtrack is also my own composition. Feel free to copy under the CC BY-SA license.

Edit: A few people asked about getting the soundtrack... I'll put it up at my band page at Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/presteign

  • Stupid thing is, DRM does nothing to stop piracy. There is no such thing as unbreakable DRM. And it's break-once, play everywhere.

    DRM is purely about vendor lock-in, and making people buy extra copies of things they already own. In short, it's pure greed. Don't believe anyone who says DRM stops piracy (or even that piracy "threatens music") -- find out the facts first.

  • The ironic thing about pirating DRM-encumbered music is that the *pirate* has more freedoms than a complying user. The pirate can copy it anywhere he likes, the complying user is bound by the DRM.

    Does this make sense? No, you should NOT let yourself be treated like a criminal.

  • @jcj83429 OR let's find a way to keep Hollywood from passing legislation that encourages selling DRM infected files. I'd like to pay for my music if at all possible.

  • Which is the name of the song? I liked it.

  • DRM makes me laugh. Its like the guy who was insulted was to late with the comeback cos the other guy already left the room! lol...

  • @ericardron lolwut? 2 grand to throw away by getting caught...if you had that money sitting around you don't need to pirate :P

  • @TheParadox2 and games <,<

  • Do what you want cos a pirate is free.

    You are a pirate.

  • DRM is BS!Let's pirate everything!

  • ...I just bought a TV that won't play DRMed MP3s and/or WMVs...

    Yet non-DRM MP3s work just fine...

    But the best part is 1080p Blu ray rips (MKV types) play just fine...

    How freaking awesome/retarded is that? Here we are 2 years after this video is made and we can actually SEE this BS. not just with music, but with movies!

  • You forgot the 8 track... oh my GOD.. how could you skip it????

  • buy???
