This is incredibly close-minded of you. It’s important creative work can be compensated for. This debate was tired in 2002. You should at least understand the other side instead of treating it with the moral simplicity that’d apply equally to Nazis.

Heh, I love that you accuse me of being closed-minded on this, while simultaneously claiming that nothing relevant has happened since 2002 because you're "tired" of the debate.
I'd also recommend you actually find out about somebody's background before making such a giant assumption about how much they know about the issue.
And if you don't think DRM has been used to abuse legitimate users, you yourself have a significant amount of understanding the other side to do. A great start might be just reviewing some of the anecdotes in this comment section or any of the other many threads that continually happen on HN. It turns out that DRM technology has actually changed a bit in the last 24 years, and it's not just about "protecting" IP
If I read a full biography of you, does it change anything about my perception that you're close-minded for saying working on DRM is obviously 100% morally wrong and it's beyond you to understand why anyone would?
