Not a very responsible point of view. I just prefer that the various industries move with the same pace as technology, and offer compelling choices for reasonable prices. Also, DRM only hurts the guys who pay.
Good example of all of this is the fact that Vudu actually has the best selection and highest quality for streaming movie selection, IMO (1080p, Surround sound and NEW titles). Good job, actually. But then they blow it by charging more for HD (720p?) and even more for some other made up acronym for really HD (1080p) And completely cripple the platform for the PC. Really? I am a proud Windows Media Center user, so Vudu's platform becomes a non-option. Also, 720p should be erased, and charge for standard tier or 1080p (dropped down to the 720p price) Because, enthusiasts are already salivating at 4KHD, and 3D is also, premium chargeable. So all this really comes across as milking old tech, as well as hurting a willing to pay consumer. And, sadly, this is one of the best options out there.
So to come full circle, can you really come back and say you are losing more then the entire GDP of the planet Earth, to people with the "pirate" mentality, when the real problem is your own ability to produce .
