> If you've ever thought DRM made no sense at av the tech or crypto level, read that to see that you are right but focusing on the wrong aspect, and that strategically it makes perfect sense (and is even nastier).

Everybody already knows that. But Hollywood can't actually admit to that because it's blatant cartoon villain-style robber baron behavior, so they keep insisting that the purpose of DRM is to "protect content" from "pirates." Which means we have to keep pointing out that it has never done that.

Their actual reason for pushing DRM is why we need to get rid of it.
