The digital rights management does not violate the public's right to fair uses. As discussed in our group, the management still allows users to gain access to software either by paying for the service or if the service is free to use and share. Some companies allow a certain amount of their product to be free and in order to get added features or the rest of the service for a fee. For example, Netflix and other tv/movie streaming services like Hulu, allow viewers to get 1 month free and if pleased with the service, customers can decide if they wish to pay for continuing streaming. It is ethical to do this since it will save consumers money but still allows the makers to be rewarded and have their product more available to the public.
As a consumer, buying a movie for $15 to have forever is somewhat unnecessary. Unless I absolutely love a certain movie, there is no need for me to have it available on DVD. Most people want to watch a movie and then go on with their lives. Services that sell self- destructing disks after a certain time or online streaming services provide a solution to this problem. These cost less for the buyer and the producers are still making enough money with the popularity and efficiency of the service. People should not have a legal right to develop, sell, buy and use devices and software to remove digital rights management restrictions for fair uses. However, this does not mean no one is going to try this. I feel that this is the best medium to help minimize piracy and purchasing expensive DVDs from the store.
