This document discusses digital rights management (DRM) and whether it is necessary or counterproductive. It notes that DRM aims to prevent piracy by using tools like serial numbers and download codes, but that it can complicate issues by making digital resale nearly impossible and potentially motivating more piracy. The document questions what is really being gained from DRM and what is being lost, and encourages readers to learn about DRM, make their own informed choices, and take actions like voting, petitioning, and contacting officials to stand up against DRM policies they believe harm consumers and small businesses.
