Earlier quoted context omitted.

> My theory is that most people don't care about DRM the same way you do It's a common practice for many crowdfunded projects to pitch for more backers by stating that release is DRM-free. You can see people commenting about it, if it's not stated (and projects clarifying this point). Take a look at fiasco with Veronica Mars crowdfunded film which was released with DRM. Backers of the film said all they thought about…

OK, but do you have any numbers to back up the economic side of the argument? I get that it's an ethical issue for you, but you lose me when you talk about 'sick minded publishers,' because different editions with or without DRM are simply what they have available to sell, and they're just allocating to wherever they see the best price. If Alice will pay $10 for a streaming copy (with DRM), Bob will pay $30 for a DRM…

A couple of "mistakes" that I caught while watching, thought HN might find them interesting: - There's a reference to Viagra (6:20) but it hadn't been invented yet. - The "hacking time" sequence around 10:30 contains Java [1] which obviously came from the future. There are a few others, perhaps intentional. I won't spoil them here :) [1] https://www.dropbox.com/s/7478u4gkvnmjg6p/Screenshot%202015-...

The "hacking time" sequence around 10:30 contains Java [1] which obviously came from the future. He did an iama yesterday and someone pointed this out. Turns out he went to r/programming asking for someone to write him some code that would hack time. someone sent him Java... or Hackerman invented java so he could write once run any Time.
