DRM isn’t evil, it’s just it’s current implementations and the fact that when the software is abandoned companies don’t remove it. There’s no end of life plan for their software

Also some forms in the past have been straight up evil.

I’ll never forget sending a letter to a dev because I lost their code wheel for a game I owned and they sent a letter back telling me to buy the game again ‡

I’d say that was my first step towards piracy

‡ Before anyone asks: No I don’t remember what game it was for or what company I sent it to, that was decades ago.
