Other than being wrong about everything you said, you are doing good!
If you're attempting to antagonise me, you have failed
Just like you have failed to provide any evidence of the above and just like you have failed to make any sensible argument.
You can buy an MQA file then give it to me and I can play it with my mqa decoder. Content owner won't even know about it let alone get compensated for it. Ergo there is no copy protection whatsoever
"Breaking news: Man who pays for access, gets access." If I give the file to someone who hasn't paid for access to a decoder they can't play the file.
EDIT: the fully unfolded file
You can't use an iphone or android without activation. You are going to say that is DRM too so should be avoided too?
You can use an Android phone without activation. Please stop embarrassing yourself. I just reset my spare phone and I've skipped any account sign-in or creation. I've installed a new web browser from APK mirror. I've installed the amazon app store and F-Droid app store. I can't speak for iPhone because I don't have one. But if you need an account to use it, then yes, I would certainly avoid that too. No hardware should require an account to function. When Facebook bought Oculus, those of us with some sanity avoided buying an Oculus headset and we warned against Facebook's practices, and that one day you would need a Facebook account to use their hardware. We were told repeatedly by those who owned Oculus hardware that that would never happen. Guess what? It did. And it's a ****** practice that consumers should speak out against.
Like any other codec MQA requires a licensed decoder. Get that and you can play that content like any other. If that means it has DRM then everything has DRM which of course is nonsense.
There is a clear distinction between free codecs and proprietary codecs. Pretending otherwise is disingenuous and argumentative. The kind of posting that we're told we should not do in this thread. Perhaps you should set an example!
