Thanks for the corrections, Tim.

This comes to prove that DRM is customer punishment that achieves merely
nothing. A few crackers will be enough to proliferate the media via P2P.
When you play it, it's out in the open. Unless, of course, you could play
the music/film in some obscure binary form and engineer people's brain to be
able to interpret that. Each person has a different 'mental' key. Then,
telepathy can eb considered a form of piracy.
