Almost appropriate. 99.99% of houses are never robbed and yet everybody locks them. Of course we can leave our doors unlocked and that's the difference: choice. We should be able to turn off DRM. I can accept that without DRM I can't watch that streaming service (even if there are many ways to circumvent and/or to prove a purchase) but not to use a product for my own sake (eg: run my software on it.)



Maybe more like 99.0% of houses. a year. And there are places where people don't lock their doors at all
