  > DRM is software working against its own users.
Well, what's the problem then? If DRM works against the users then the alternative will surely win? Nobody forbids you from not using DRM capabilities in your own product.


Nobody forbids you from not using DRM capabilities in your own product.

Almost; if my product is a web browser, I know would have to implement DRM functionality in order to comply with the open web standards. This is what I object to, and I find ethically wrong. I'm not advocating for the illegalization of DRM or anything like that, just that open standards not be polluted by it.
