Hackers are not the target anyway. too many people, Richard, Bruce and others think that DRM is and Free software is a 'hackers' issue.
It's not. It's a soccer mom's and the family next door problem.
All the software programmer can srivel up and die, but the public still needs Free Software and DRM is still theft.
