When you say, "coders have solved for this issue", what do you mean?

Do you mean that the movie industry's coders have made DRM so un-intrusive that it's no longer an issue for consumers? Many would disagree with you there.

Do you mean that "pirate" coders have been able to circumvent all existing DRM techniques, so consumers can always get DRM-free movies if they seek them out? That may be true, but it's a continuing arms race with the movie industry, so it's not an ideal solution.




Well, they have done a much better job w/ the DRM now than in the past. I don't love the stuff, but I haven't had trouble with it in recent years.

(Except for the one time I tried to play DRM video on an Eyefinity display array, at which point iTunes complained it didn't support HDCP)
