But there isn't really any "stupid" here, it's just plain greed. All these prison companies that charge outrageous prices (I mean $1.70 per song?? A $119 mp3 player when you can get one on Amazon for $20??) to poor people simply because they can. Don't even get me started on phone call rates, but check out https://www.prisonphonejustice.org if you care for more evidence.

I'm not a religious person, but sometimes I truly wish hell exists so that these prison profiteers, who have sold their soul to the devil, at least get what they deserve in the afterlife.

Do the people who signed the agreement actually understand DRM? Did they understand the ripple effects?

Or did they just sign because . . .
