Makes you wonder why they still bother

from here and here (image source 1 and 2)

I'm no fan of DRM. It acts against the user's interests, so I consider it a form of malware. As such, I have no qualms about people neutering it, even if it is illegal to do so. Hearing how quickly it can be neutered (in about a day in this recent case) I can't help but wonder if it's even cost effective to continue developing such software. I'm pretty sure it takes more than a day to make it.
