<i>&gt;  Was the delusion that you&#x27;re protecting anything worth</i><p>Dude, that&#x27;s just not how you make friends and influence people. He knows all the arguments, he said it. Wouldn&#x27;t it be more interesting to try to find with him a way we can all work together towards a better future, without attempting to shame the counterpart into a public admission of moral failure which will, of course, never happen?<p>That&#x27;s why Linux has been successful: beyond the zealots, there were significant amounts of people (including Torvalds) who did not ask anyone to repent their proprietary sins before joining. &quot;We build A, you build B, let&#x27;s see if we can make something together which is a bit more like A, because we honestly think A is awesome, but hey, we like your B as well! It&#x27;s just that we cannot help you if you keep it to yourself...&quot;<p>The thing is, &quot;we&quot; are currently not building anything that might allay studios&#x27; fears. &quot;We&quot; don&#x27;t even understand those fears, or choose to disregard them entirely. Of course they&#x27;ll go out and do their own thing. If there was a safe way to deliver what they want (encrypted tamper-proof streaming) in an open-source package, they would likely consider it. But there isn&#x27;t, afaik. Are &quot;we&quot; building it? No, we try to slut-shame &quot;them&quot; into giving up. That ain&#x27;t gonna work, when there are billion of dollars and millions of jobs at risk.
