It's your own fault: DRM extensions[ Parent ] (none / 0) (#13)
by Anonymous User on Wed Nov 10, 2004 at 06:55:57 AM PDT

I believe that games are the true bleeding edge of technology implementation. So if this sort of insanity is permitted to exist in any legal context then your precious business software will be next. What happens if your Office suite refuses to run because you're trying to connect to a DB2 or MYSQL database? Or your PC refuses to make a network connection because your server is running the wrong OS? This is wrong... both morally and, I am certain, legally (anti-monopoly, consumer rights, privacy, false or misleading trade practices, et al) DRMA or no. (By the way, Intuit didn't actually stop their practice of treating customers as thieves they just made a slight change in how they do it.)
