&gt; but the case of renting a newly released movie does to seem different<p>Why? Genuine question.<p>DRM doesn&#x27;t save new movies from piracy - new releases still hit the public torrent sites extremely quickly (sometimes before release).<p>And I don&#x27;t understand what CC has to do with DRM. One is an intellectual property license, the other is a bucket of suck that categorically cannot work if users are to be allowed control their own machines.
