Software that doesn't utilize DRM or the TCPA will not go away... as I said in my above tutorial... it just want have the same level of protection and usability as software that does.
...Assuming that DRM would be voluntary. Even then, I fail to see what it would do for me.
Try to take off the Pollyanna glasses for a minute and look at the history of copy protection.
For god's sake the movie industry seriously tried to have the video cassette recorder
outlawed!

Of course, without hardware support, DRM is DOA. What they really want is legally mandated
copy protection embedded in hardware.

People have already tried to change the industry standards for hard drives
to facilitate copy protection. Obviously, no one would willingly buy crippled
hardware in exchange for the dubious privelige of listening to copyrighted
music. If DRM ever becomes the established standard, it could only be
by force of law.

Anyway, I'm buying stock in tinfoil companies, just in case.
