The only people who get rich on movie DRM are the lawyers and the software people hired to "protect" the film with their convolutions. Other than that, there is NO profit in DRM for the movie makers. They have yet to learn that nothing they can do will stop copying......except.......oh perish the thought.........except selling the product at a much cheaper but fairer price in the market place.
