DRM, the way it was pitched to companies.. was supposed to do two things.
It was supposed to allow your paying members to see your content and stop people who didn't pay from seeing it.
It failed on both sides.
When we had DRM at Fratmen, I would have countless help emails every day about how the movies didn't work, nobody could view the content and can I have my money back?
At the same time, the torrents were full of Fratmen movies.
I told the audience that I was a paying member of Sean Cody but that I had to get the movies from LimeWire. How silly is it that someone paying for your content is reduced to stealing it?
Yes.. some companies, yourself included make money despite using DRM. Do you think you'd make less if you dropped it, or like every company I've worked for or talked to.. more?
