I find these kinds of articles frustrating because I generally agree with the politics, but the presentation is so polemic and disingenuous that I instinctively disagree with the dishonest and poor reasoning.<p>For instance:<p>- Casting annual subscriptions to Amazon Prime as nefarious. I’m happy enough with my prime subscription. I have enough agency to make other decisions. I don’t need to be rescued.<p>- The idiotic argument that , because pirates can and do remove DRM, therefore DRM is solely used to restrict authorized use. Seriously? Can anyone read this with a straight face? It’s like saying that because burglars <i>can</i> bypass door locks, the only possible purpose for locks is to keep people out of their own houses. I’m a DRM skeptic, but this flimsy position makes me <i>less</i> sympathetic to the anti-DRM camp.
