- Nerys, on 09/16/2008, -0/+6Except I will never ever in my life purchase COPY protected Digital downloaded content (except Audible but only because there prices are fair and there DRM easily eliminated)
I did not buy a DVD player until I could DEFEAT the DRM on it.
I DO NOT RECOGNIZE DRM AS LEGAL AND WILL NOT ACCEPT IT. - supermanred, on 09/16/2008, -0/+4Another "itunes killer"? This makes no sense, seeing as drm-free media is what Jobs wants to sell on iTunes ideally.
If everything is locked down by heavy DRM, we will turn to stripping it and distributing it and sharing it on Piratebay and sites like piratebay.
When will these old ***** get it? ***** DRM. Im making a t-shirt. ***** DRM.- beerbarron, on 09/16/2008, -0/+1I'll buy that for a dollar ;)
- hugolp, on 09/16/2008, -1/+3'Open' standard? ***** that. Its DRM. Buried.
- Commodus, on 09/16/2008, -0/+1Hence the quotes around "open" - I don't think they buy the story that it's open any more than you do.
- beerbarron, on 09/16/2008, -0/+1same s**t different day
- santasing, on 09/16/2008, -0/+1No matter how much we say we won't buy this or that, but the number of people actually buying DRM'ed products is huge. As such, I don't think DRM is going anywhere. But an open "standard" might be helpful in the sense that multiple devices across multiple platforms can access it instead of a song from iTunes (just an example) being limited to only being able to be played on an iPod.
- Atomic1fire, on 09/16/2008, -0/+1If, they can open the source code to allow the drm stuff to be ported to other OS's and software
they may stand a fighting chance, but then again, it may just lead to the drm being easily cracked, so its unlikely.
