Here's the DRM support I could get behindHere's the DRM support I could get behindPosted Dec 14, 2005 10:39 UTC (Wed) by ekj (subscriber, #1524)In reply to: Here's the DRM support I could get behind by lutchann Parent article: GStreamer to support DRM DRM is not nonsense--it was never meant to protect against well-armed attackers like commercial pirates or dedicated warez groups. If the dedicated warez-groups can crack the drm, then the undrmed media will continue to float freely over the internet, like it does today, probably in a better anonymized network. And they've gained nothing. There are few enough commercial pirates and warez groups that they (or their distribution channels, including P2P) can be shut down with legal measures, at least in developed countries. First, I very much doubt this is true. Secondly, even if it was, this still wouldn't help. It would only mean that the neweest Tittney-cd became available maybe an hour later, since it'd get cracked it some non-developed country and thereafter spread over the networks exactly as it does today. Third, you seem to assume that all people are either amateurs or comercial operations. This neglects the large group of people who have lots of skills and expertize, but no interest in doing pirating comercially. These are a lot harder to catch than the comercial pirates, because the latter can be caugth by following the money-trail. If I *don't* require any payment, it's pretty easy to make some file available to the world in such a way that it's pretty darn hard to proove it originated from me.
