Smile The slow death of DRM


found this news :
Quote:
The DRM walls are crumbling. Earlier this week, Steve Jobs called on the major record labels to allow online music sales unfettered by digital rights management restrictions.
Today, the Wall Street Journal disclosed that EMI is in negotiations with several digital music services to sell unprotected MP3s of its catalogue. Jobs was motivated at least in part by legal actions against Apple in Europe and the US as discussed below. But whatever his motivation, Jobs is right: DRM has been a disaster for the recording business. This article will outline the brief but sad history of DRM, the current legal attacks on it, and the reasons why the recording business would be far better off without it.

Default Re: The slow death of DRM

There should b rules put up, EU would be first in this if it happens, that you cannot implement DRM in your software/hardware. If such orders come from a few big countries, that would be most detrimental to those looking to shove DRM down our a$$es.
