Digital rights management

I've had a lot of fun looking up the DRM bashing that goes on online. Hopefully, you had fun reading this. Lord Scofield Stark 13:15, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Humour:	6.7	Pleasant. A nice account of the DMCA war. Being a pirate myself, I loved the article. But since this is supposed to be a critical review, I'll pretend to be barely impressed, in sync with the Humour score. To begin with, it's a narration of events that is presented in an amusing manner. It started off brilliantly - the opening paragraph was great. It sort of lostSteam after that and became informative. I'm not complaining the absence of cats and ninjas and chuck-nuns, but seriously though, it could have been a tad funnier. You're thinking, Yeah, they all say that, how many of them can actually make them funnier? I'll concede, I can't. IFYMB! can though. However, I do have a suggestion or two. Primarily poking-fun suggestions. Include the people involved - like the legislator who passed the law. I can't remember the name but he became the most hated person on the Internet overnight. Cite the end of Gigaupload. Or was it Teraupload? Music humour! Random band's album was released online for free without any piracy restrictions. Nobody downloaded it. If you will, add See Also.
Concept:	7.5	Not too shabby. This was like a scribe's account of a battle I witnessed. Funny enough though. I'd still maintain that it's an account. A funny retelling, rather than a humorous article. You've gotten incredibly close to the truth. However, the idea of production houses celebrating the success of piracy compensates for that a bit.
Prose and formatting:	9	Good enough. No severe complaint; it's grammar compliant. The one little problem is too much "quoting" all over the "article," you know what I mean? And, there is a formatting inconsistency in the titles. Digital rights management, Obstinance and Paranoia, DRM-free software, and further challenges to the Master-Plan. Geddit? I normally fix these during the review but I'm not quite in the mood today.
Images:	6	Bleh. The Sales Report was funny. Rest were okay. Suggestions: Picture of fans' reaction to the DRM Image of copyright owners secretly toasting each other
Miscellaneous:	7.2	Decent article. Could be funnier though.
Final Score:	36.4	Fun to read from the standpoint of any person who witnessed all that. It really is a nice account - I'll even show this to anyone who asks me what happened in that online outrage. For an Uncyclopedia article, however, it lacks humour.
