Further, recognition that it is an idiotic feature to support would go far in convincing your competitors to follow suit. If NOBODY supported DRM, it would HAVE to be abandoned.... and the world would be a better place. Realistically, we both know that EVERY hardware vendor would like to leave the DRM stuff out, because it doesn't actually do anything to improve their product. If ONE company took the first step and dropped it, the others would follow in short order.
Or at least an inexpensive public campagne against DRM and offer *something* without it. I.e., the "stand up for consumers' rights" edition Radeon.
Take that, and market it, it would sell like crazy! In fact, I would HAPPILY pay **MORE** for virtually the same hardware that lacked DRM. Somehow though, I suspect it would be LESS, since you are, no doubt, paying licensing fees for it.
BTW: Gun control is a personal responsibility of every gun owner. Not the government. Most injuries and deaths realted to registered guns are a result of alcohol and/or incompetence and are not criminal matters. Gun crimes are committed with uncontrolled guns.
