Anti-piracy advertising, whose task is to educate people, is of no importance if in the specific case the content has been bought, we know how often we happen to buy some content legally, while for others we resort to piracy.
Sometimes people should also put themselves in others' shoes and not just think about themselves.
For years the internet has been nobody's land, where everyone feels entitled to have everything without paying, but life doesn't work like that, everything has a cost.

Perhaps you have different rights to me though. Maybe you have the right to spend other people's time how you wish. If so... that sounds like a super power to me: I hope you act responsibly with it.
With great power comes great responsibility

So sure, DRM is a waste on the corporate's part. But as a user, I have to live with their (stupid) decision. They don't care about Linux, so as long as Linux makes it hard for them, I - as a user - am on the losing side, no matter how high my moral ground is.

Simon Ser has stepped up again to manage the upcoming release of the Weston 8.0 Wayland reference compositor. No Wayland update itself is planned with nothing real to release at this point, but Weston 8.0 should arrive before the end of January...
