I’m in IT-Support at a Music- and Movie- Mastering/Data-Carrier-production/Digital Distribution company. So I am one of thousands of people who work hard to make sure you get your music or movies in the best possible quality, wether it’s on CD or Online. My job is directly tied to CD-/DVD-/BluRay-/mp3- sales.
And still, I’m strictly against all forms of copy-protection, DRM, etc. and I dare say I’m not an evil asshole. I think CDs, DVDs and especially BluRays are too expensive (at least they are in Germany, I don’t really know about other markets), and the way the RIAA is handling the people is an outrage beyond good and evil.
Oh, and something I hate the most is the way Metallica treat their loyal customers. I have just bought “Death Magnetic” yesterday, and the CD’s sound-quality is pure shit. You can hear an extreme difference between the CD and Guitar Hero 3. I actually thought I had blown my in-car speakers by cranking the volume up too much when I first listened to the Disk… I don’t get how a single Band can fuck their fans so hard, again and again. First Metallica vs. Napster, then Metallica vs. General Public, now Metallica vs. the buyers of their Album…
