From the article:

When we went to our seats, the wait staff let us know that despite the fact that the previews were playing, we wouldn’t know until the movie actually started whether we could see the film or not. If it didn’t work, the screen would just turn black. Luckily, the film went through without a hitch.

    DRM but over the air, consumers hate it, investors love it, it’ll make everything worse, it’s the future!

      Do investors really love it? Is there anyone as stupid as the group-think whole that believes that will stop even one act of piracy?

      All these idiotic measures have clearly driven more people to piracy…

        I doubt the investors are smart enough to understand the technology behind it. All they probably hear and fully understand is the part where they can potentially make more money in the long run.

        Money people are literally too stupid to understand anything other than line go up or line go down. They were told line would go up if DRM, so that’s what they want.
