I agree. This story is becoming timeless, but its understandable. From XBox mod-chips to BitTorrent, people love subversion over protest. I can't blame them really. I've been on both sides. Building and distributing a DRM break is a thrilling experience; one of my most memorable engineering projects. And consuming pirated games and music as a kid was a form of empowering rebellion. The satisfaction of subverting what is perceived as an immovable market is immediate. Whereas protesting, simply not participating in the ecosystem, is not at all satisfying. We know its the reasonable and smart thing to do, but it doesn't have the same emotional satisfaction associated with it.

So, I don't think we'll ever see an end to it.
