@mcelhearn@siegel No. Please try reading it again. -
@mikeash@mcelhearn Right. The issue is not DRM per se, we all always knew that. MAS is not magical DRM that “just works” all the time. -
@siegel@mcelhearn The issue is Apple sycophants who think that when Apple does something fundamentally broken, it'll be magically better. - View other replies

@mikeash@siegel@mcelhearn depends on the definition of better - better than no DRM? Nope. But better than most DRMs? Possible. -

@mikeash@siegel@mcelhearn yes, that’s why I said possible and not yes. Apple has a lot to work on here. -
@dmunsie@siegel@mcelhearn What's weird is that this surely comes from doing too much work, not too little.

@mikeash Checking with Apple servers on install / update / first run would have been fine, not every run. -
@mikeash I think it is designed that way. Sad but true.
