    DRM doesn’t purge itself automatically. I don’t know how to spell it any clearer but if the problem is that DRM continues to exist, and it is solved when DRM is removed, then DRM itself is the problem.

    And I speak as someone who lost my official purchase of Tron Evolution to outdated DRM.

    I don’t think you are arguing in favor of cracking groups, as much as I’m appreciative of them.

      It doesn’t have to.

      I don’t know how to spell it any clearer but if the problem is that DRM continues to exist, and it is solved when DRM is removed, then DRM itself is the problem.

      Once again you have it backwards. If the DRM is removed then the problem you cited never existed and there’s no problem to be solved.

      I don’t understand what purpose your anecdotes are supposed to serve here.

        Oh boy, I wonder what’s the relevance of being a first-hand witness of what happens when DRM that doesn’t purge itself, doesn’t get removed and loses support. I wonder how differently that would have gone if DRM had never been used instead.

        Welp, who knows what’s the point of it all. A complete mystery huh 🤷‍♂️

          God forbid you should actually explain it rather than acting like an ass and ignoring the question.
