@wirehead2501 @XaiaX it allows officers to assert that they've done due diligence in preserving shareholder value. full stop.

@wirehead2501@XaiaX not imposing that limit would change functionally nothing, but would be going begging for shareholder lawsuits. -
@wirehead2501@XaiaX it wouldn't shock me to find that this is what drives literally all obnoxious DRM. -
@chaosprime@wirehead2501 what else would it be? -
@XaiaX@wirehead2501 the reasons that are actually asserted. creator compensation, profit, that sort of thing. -
@XaiaX@wirehead2501 the idea that DRM makes anybody any money is a joke. but you have to look like you're doing something or get sued. -
@chaosprime@wirehead2501 true. I wouldn’t say it’s 0% effective, but then I think about China and its culture of piracy. -
@XaiaX@wirehead2501 at a guess i'd say it averages out at -2% effective. every time DRM prevents legit playback, a pirate gets his wings. -
@chaosprime@wirehead2501 yeah, but China. - 6 more replies
