| May 9, 2012 at 20:08 | comment | added | Daniel Beck Mod | @Breakthrough Well, I wrote it makes sense. Some users (some of those with a twitchy finger on the close link) might not be aware of legal uses for a certain kind of application. They'll VTC and flag and tell you you're a bad person. Stating that you don't intent to kill puppies and kittens therefore makes sense. | |
| May 9, 2012 at 20:04 | comment | added | Breakthrough | @DanielBeck agreed, but sometimes, less is more. Obviously such a question should be closed if the user explicitly states "I want to break the DRM from this file I own to share it with others", but what if they only say "I want to break the DRM from this file I own"? I totally agree with your viewpoint, but anyone can just append "to put it on my other devices" after the question is written. If that small addition is enough to keep a question open on SU for legitimate purposes, I'm all for it - but I still don't think it's explicitly required. | |
| May 9, 2012 at 19:44 | comment | added | Daniel Beck Mod | @Breakthrough With grey area topics, it makes sense for the questions to be stated in a way that makes them clearly legal. You want to strip DRM from ebooks to read your purchases on your ebook reader, not to share them with the world. You want to know how secure your network or computers are, and not take over your neighbors'. | |
