Somewhat off topic advice - if you're trying to convince people of your views, calling things "evil" rarely works.

I'm willing to believe that DRM doesn't further the interest of society, but evil? I don't think you can say that considering the real evil that exists in the world.

Would you call police state evil? I would. Same thing is about DRM in my view.

How would you call something like this for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_rootkit
