DRM

[Forceflow]

I've found a very interesting article on DRM. It is written in a style easy to follow for everyone, even people who aren't really totally into the subject.

I'd advise anyone (with half an hour of time to spend) to read through it. It has changed my views on DRM quite a bit.

Plus: the guy jokes around quite a lot, he's a science-fiction writer too

As in... Download Rate Manager?

I checked the article to see if he explains wtf he's actually talking about, but I got nothing out of the first two paragraphs, and gave up.

OK I scanned this (pointless and dreary) article and I'm fairly sure its about encryption techniques for digital files (more specifically DVDs and games) and how they don't work and are bad mmm'kay?

yea, something like that

it reads pretty well, atleast the first part does, it kindof wanders of in the middle, so i havent looked at the end

I think it was really great, not drowsy at all, but that may be that its a subject Im very concerned with.

DRM stands for Digital Rights Management.

Thx for the link!

Some CD company in England recently decided to take DRM off all their stuff, I hope they are a beacon of light to the rest of the world

I hate DRM. There will always be piracy no matter what.
