I have never done so but it's perfectly legitimate for someone to say tell a software dev if they are not buying their product because of a feature they implemented.chk071 wrote: ↑Wed May 01, 2024 11:10 am I wonder what some examples would be, of people "defending iLok". All that I usually see is that people say that they don't have any problems with it.
What I see a lot more is the always same people invading product topics, products which are iLok protected, and post some stupid one-liner along the lines of "iLok, no buy", although there wasn't any previous discussion or even mention of iLok. I don't know what that is called (I'm sure someone has invented some stupid trend term for that as well), but, it's really ridiculously stupid and annoying. Especially when you know that it's merely a political issue of the respective person anyway.
I'm not derailing anything, this thread is a discussion about ilok and I'm commenting on what has been said.whyterabbyt wrote: ↑Wed May 01, 2024 11:24 am Yes, because of course only 'software devs' are allowed to have an opinion that isnt negative, but anyone else can hijack and derail absolutely any thread whatsoever to complain about them in as hyperbolic a fashion as they can manage.
Sounds about right.
Only software devs can claim a benefit from DRM. There's no way that it makes life for the end user better. "I have no problem with it" makes no sense when it'd be less of a problem if it wasn't there.
