Organizations that apply 3rd party DRM to their products often want independent verification that the DRM functions as intended (there's a lot of snake-oil), and a quantification of how much time/effort it takes to break the DRM.

Wow. Kind of like red-team hackers testing the security of their website or whatever. Sounds like a dream job for the right person...a "drmcometru" if you will ;)

Dream job. If I thought I could get paid doing that I would have been set at 17 years old. Now I'm 38 and still dream of my reversing days. :)

The user who answered you isn't the one you were asking (it's still a possible answer).

By the way, aren't you the AutoModerator guy on Reddit and also, the /r/Games moderator or something. Cool beans, dude! You made some god-tier product there.

Whoops, that's embarrassing.

I quit working at Reddit a few years ago and don't do much there any more, but yes, that's me. Thanks!
