http://live.pirillo.com/ - Clone69 wants to know wha exactly DRM is.
DRM stands for Digital Rights Management, and it's a piece of code that is intended to help curb content piracy. The problem is that DRM is a colossal failure:
- It annoys users
- Gets in their way
- It's not a good experience
- And it doesn't stop people from pirating content, at all.
Take Ponzi, for example: she had a Napster, Urge, and iTunes accounts. Because each vendor uses their own form of DRM they can't play music bought from each store. So, each time she goes to a new provider she needs to purchase the same songs over again. How many times is she going to buy access to the same song? She could save money by buying the CD, ripping the CD herself, and then not worry about being restricted with what she can do with the content.
The easiest way to get around DRM is to purchase the content. Buy the CD or DVD and rip it to your machine. That way you'll get the content you purchased plus the added ability to play that content in whatever machine you want to.
What do you think about DRM?

Hi,
DRM is basically an advanced access control mechanism for the use of digital media and peripherals boundaries. It is generally used in combination with a system of licensing controls to restrict use to only authorized computers to share content protected by DRM to prevent. Some systems use DRM protection password to prevent unauthorized access to protected contents. However, it is easy to use such a system to break with the recovery password tools or sharing your password with others. Thank you...
