    Agreed but again, I ask my question.

    Do you think the removal of DRM would make things easier or harder for China.

    That is my point. If you can’t answer the question that’s fine but I don’t wish to discuss side topics or metaphors. Making things easier for thieves is bad mkay.

      This is like asking if using left handed threaded screws would make it easier or harder for China. They’re already the ones manufacturing all the components and the device itself. Removing/adding a step in the process doesn’t change anything.

      DRM hampers legitimate customers / repair without actually doing anything against piracy.

            I asked if it would be easier or harder for China to steal content with DRM removed from the beginning.

            That’s a pretty specific question but alright.

            Somehow a yes or no answer is acceptably answered with “they already do that all the time” which completely avoids the original question which was, again, if it would be easier to do so or not.
