Unix to support DRMUnix to support DRMPosted Dec 15, 2005 12:29 UTC (Thu) by rjw (guest, #10415)In reply to: Unix to support DRM by wingo Parent article: GStreamer to support DRM
I think the point is that if codec licensors require a joke DRM scheme now, that is trivially defeated, do you really believe that they *won't* start requiring a hardware assured pipeline at sometime in the future?
At that point, will you throw up your hands and give up?
Or will you incrementally add things at the request of the licensors, to the detriment of the users control of his own machine?
This is a pretty dangerous road to go down, as it sets up an expectation that you will support any arbitrarily nasty DRM scheme that comes along, and some of those *do* require that you architecture is based on user-distrust.
Of course, none of them actually have any security value, but hey, who cares?
