From the article:

When we went to our seats, the wait staff let us know that despite the fact that the previews were playing, we wouldn’t know until the movie actually started whether we could see the film or not. If it didn’t work, the screen would just turn black. Luckily, the film went through without a hitch.

The way we murder DRM is by it affecting the business bottom line.

This might be an offense worthy of litigation if Sony is not sufficiently contrite.

It's telling how unfriendly the DRM is, that it doesn't inform the protectionist of problems until the minute the show starts.

Sony is a real dick.

DRM only affects paying customers. It plays no role in effectively combatting piracy.

Only good service and good pricing is effective against piracy.

I mean unfortunately denuvo has been pretty effective lately. It's not uncrackable but not a lot of effort is being put into it other than when Empress feels like it.
