http://www.pledgebank.com/boycottdrm Comments on 'pledge to never purchase a CD containing any form of Digital Rights Management (DRM),' en-gb team@pledgebank.com 1901-01-01T00:00+00:00 2 hourly http://www.pledgebank.com/boycottdrm#comment_919042 DRM affects only those who legally buy their music. http://www.pledgebank.com/boycottdrm#comment_909678 Selling CDs with DRM is an unconscionable business practice. A disc with DRM shouldn't be disguised as a 'CD' when containing DRM software that can cripple my computer. http://www.pledgebank.com/boycottdrm#comment_903461 Fantastic article covering some points I really needed http://www.pledgebank.com/boycottdrm#comment_866508 When the Jon Brion version of the new Fiona Apple CD leaked onto the internet, I downloaded it, but with the explicit promise to myself that I would buy the legal CD the moment it was officially released. Greetings http://www.pledgebank.com/boycottdrm#comment_857680 many signers, only the most recent 500 are shown on this page...35 people who did not want to give their names I will give me name to this list. http://www.pledgebank.com/boycottdrm#comment_799551 My pledge extends to ALL CDs that involve some form of copy protection or another that surreptitiously takes control of a user's PC/appliances/hardware, not just Music ones. These include: Computer games and software (Some of which has a Sony Rootkit equivalent called StarForce that is more destructive pound for pound), and video CDs (Some of which are region encrypted, so they can never be brought home from an overseas trip as a memento, because they will never work outside of their country). Alice Buses. http://www.pledgebank.com/boycottdrm#comment_728442 Great idea! Go on friends! This is good! http://www.pledgebank.com/boycottdrm#comment_703946 Come on, people. Support the indies. They have been promoting unDRM forever. Check sites like http://www.weedshare.com/ www.emusic.com or www.7digital.com. There are no lack of choices out there. AllofMP3, however, are crooks. I don't see how robbing musicians is supposed to help them. http://www.pledgebank.com/boycottdrm#comment_661717 Ci vuole impegno ragazzi. E' una battaglia durissima questa! http://www.pledgebank.com/boycottdrm#comment_540774 I have bourght 1 cd that had DRM on it and also my dad bourght a cd with DRM on it The cd's are red hot chilli pepers and alica keys i ended up downloading them with azures bit torrent, In my eyes i paid for the music and cannot even play them on my computer. On other thing when i just got this bestie boys cd and put it in my linux pc i noticed that it already had ogg vobis and think it had flac all though im not sure, it would be great if all cd's were like this. The DRM people could lern alot from the site www.allofmp3.com it alows you to put the music in any format you want. The only downside is that it isn't 100% legal with the western world but hopefull soon it will. http://www.pledgebank.com/boycottdrm#comment_510933 I would never buy a car if the car company tells me " Okay here is your car, you can drive it but dont alter anything in the car!" http://www.pledgebank.com/boycottdrm#comment_508551 I have never, and will never purchase a CD restricted by DRM. The record companies treat us like criminals, what do they expect... a gift? When I pay for a CD, I should be able to convert that music into whatever format I want. I buy only genuine music CDs. Just my 50 cents. http://www.pledgebank.com/boycottdrm#comment_492922 Very nice pledge!! http://www.pledgebank.com/boycottdrm#comment_471041 This is why I don't buy CD's any more. I download for FREE using certain unnamed websites and p2p softwares because the RIAA is too greedy. they don't give much loyalties from cd sales to the artists; most of the artists revenue comes from concerts and promotions, etc. The RIAA exists to try and dictate our media and entertainment as well as make even more $$$ than they already have (if they stopped the ridiculous DRM, they would'nt have to pay ridiculous prices to make cd's DRM, saving them $$$ which is all they care about anyway...) On the other hand, most of the CD's I used to buy are by "outdated" artists (contemporary music is contemptible) anyway, so unless they digitaly remaster the cds, they aren't going to be able to do much to dusty old Doors and Bob Dylan cd's http://www.pledgebank.com/boycottdrm#comment_469928 Su dai impegnamoci di più. http://www.pledgebank.com/boycottdrm#comment_393053 thanks for establishing such a site.May the Almighty One bless you. http://www.pledgebank.com/boycottdrm#comment_335640 I won't buy ANY music from the RIAA! http://www.pledgebank.com/boycottdrm#comment_293162 We all have to refuse DRM because the costs are too high ... and not all people can buy so many CD's they like. I can buy one or two per months but if I like have more? I must copy it. http://www.pledgebank.com/boycottdrm#comment_245758 禁止盗版没有错，但是DRM的侵害消费者自由的方式绝对不会得到支持，我永远不会用包含任意形式的DRM的CD！ http://www.pledgebank.com/boycottdrm#comment_189270 In Thailand, very easy to find illigal song. I don't promote this. I prefer original CD or listen from Radio. Easpecially Muay Thai program.!!
