The reason for implementing DRM is to kill DRM, somehow..I think this is just post-hoc justification for the bad decision of compromising their core ideals for the sake of market share.

So what can we do to eradicate DRM from both the software industry and from legal space? Let's try to make a list of things we can actually do.

use (A)GPLv3 or another license that protects you from drm
do not use drm yourself
do something to make shitzilla not use drm

Maybe we can write software that is better than shitzilla and release it under (A)GPLv3?
