Consumers do NOT want DRM. The only people on the planet who want DRM are the media companies making an indecent amount of profit from art they didn't create while giving as little as possible back to the rightfull owners.

DRM is a scheme to prevent art from going directly to the consumer without having to pay the tollbooth of the media industry.

DRM is a system design to work AGAINST the consumer, not for them.

NOBODY wants DRM.

And when DRM is everywhere in Windows, it'll be one more reason why I DONT use it and plan to work as hard as I can to remove it everywhere I can,

I am not a thief, stop treating me like one.
