The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    I completely agree with him. I do not like DRM and think it only hinders legitimate users. Pirates can get around it. My solution? Well ABC has finally got it right, in theory at least. Treat Piracy as a competitor. It can beat you on price, but if you offer your content for a reasonable price in a convenient fashion, piracy is very beatable. It is all about quality and convenience for a decent price.
