Re: Buying Eloquence
Video games have done things like that, instead of displaying error messages it introduces annoyances like invincible foes or the time when Crysis Warhead made your gun shoot chickens instead of bullets. In all seriousness, though, I do agree that the invasive DRM used in SAPI 5 eloquence is, as the FSF put it, defective by design. In fact, in the GNU GPL specifically strips drM of its legal value, so if you broke the drm on something licensed under the gpL, you wouldn't be breaking the law. Though I'm not a lawyer, and my interpretation could be wrong, here's the clause I'm referring to that discusses dRM. "No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
measures.
When you convey a covered work, you waive any le
gal power to forbid
circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
technological measures."
