Um, wow. I was actually just discussing technical feasibility. Nowhere did I state, or imply, or do I believe, that we shouldn't respect the time people put into work.
I'd explain what I meant further, but by jumping into a full-blown rant on me on piracy after I expressed a technically minded opinion about the futility of DRM on a web page, I think you've clearly demonstrated that you're not worth engaging further.
sorry. I misunderstood your comment. my bad. a bit punchy today. we cool?
Edit: Yes. Technically it does seem futile. It does become a game of cat and mouse (not unlike the spam/anti-spam battle over the years). Slow them down. Make them work for it. I used to work with a crazy old engineer that always told me: "I don't lock my car. If a thief wants my radio... he'll get it regardless. I'd rather deal with just a missing radio instead of a missing radio AND a broken window." Did I mention he was crazy? lol But I thought there is probably a large subset of people that would steal a radio out of an unlocked car but would not break a window to get in. Who knows.
I can understand the "slow it down" idea, but it just doesn't seem worthwhile. If your data is that valuable, charge for access. Then it doesn't matter if they download 100 pages a second, since they're then paying for 100 pages a second.
