Coming from NY, seeing an endless amount of people selling bootlegged DVD's is as wrong to me as a little kid picking their nose in public. It's weird, but at the same time, who cares! But to the parents who have to walk along side that kid, it makes them want to fill that kid's nose with with cement so he won't be able to do it anymore. Same thing with the DVD manufacturing companies. The more people that buy the pirated copy, the more money the DVD manufacturing companies lose, and the more they want to put an end to this act of larceny. This leads to more money put into making hard-to-crack DRM's which consequentially leads to an increase in the price of the product. (This is in the thought that the reason for DVD manufacturing companies loss is because of Piraters, and not because they just are not making business). I get where they are trying to get to. They think that once they beat hackers, they'll own the DVD marketing business once again, but in my eyes, that dream may come true one day, but NOOOOWHERE NEAR SOON! Just ask the hacker who is battling Microsoft for an unbeatable DRM program. According to the story, a hacker called Viodentia first created a program stripping music of its copy protection. Microsoft answered back by making Viodentia's hacking tool useless. In return, Viodentia reanswered with another program which Microsoft has yet to render it useless. Pretty funny huh?
