The heads in Microsoft apparently reckon it'll be worth it. Are they smarter than you? I hope not.

I suspect that they aren't really concerned with the end right now, because they can't see it.  But as more and more people move away from their products, they will be forced to adjust their strategy.

Under at least the DMCA, yes.

As for outside the US, I dunno..

a poem by my computer, Macintosh Vigilante
Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant. Why does a winter audience delay macintosh? The maker tosses macintosh. Beneath female suffers a double scum. How will a rat cube the heavier cricket? Macintosh calls a method. Can macintosh nest opposite the headache? Macintosh ties the wrong fairy. When can macintosh stem the land gang? Female aborts underneath macintosh. Inside macintosh waffles female. Next to macintosh worries a well.

I wonder if any hacker cares if cracking DRM is illegal.
