@brainblasted funny thing: it is usually simplier to download pirate copy rather than go through all DRM hell just to read/watch/listen the content you want on the unusable DRMed proprietary reader/player.

When I was a kid I imagined in 2020 technology would have given us flying cars and the cure for cancer.
