Why we should care more about DRM

in freedom •  7 years ago 

DRM copyright management is no longer just a thing of the music industry.

Even John Deere does a powergrab on the farming industy

When a farmer's tracktor fails due to a bug he is no-longer allowed to repair the tracktor that he bought for a lot of money, right there and then when he needs the machine to be able to farm the land for the food that you want to eat tomorrow

Molly de Blanc, from fsf.org touches on many important issues why DRM sucks.

Yet the music industry is still trying to swindle us into crap standards like MQA, that pretends to sell you music at studio quality. But that's not really true. As you never own the music, yet you do have to pay for it. And you may only enjoy somewhat 'studio quality' if you play it on very expensive devices that are allowed to actually play that standard.
So only the rich kids may enjoy the music that was payed by you? WTF!?
And it isn't even real studio quality. FLAC does a much better job to give you the highest possible standard and does it with full respect of your privacy.

Listen closely to Christoph Engemann's talk about MQA and how crappy MQA really is. And don't delete your FLAC files, they are way better.

Thank you Christoph Engemann for the technical insights into this new MQA stuff and for pointing out how fake it is. Lets never use it.
