Fight For Freedom…

Digg revolt changed the Internet or even the world? it’s hard to answer that question right now, but I think the answer is yes, partially. The revolt is about playing what you legally bought when, how and where you want. Here are some actions we can ….

I don’t think he’ll delete it. It’s already plastered everywhere on the Internet now(thanks Digg), and he linked to the hack that CAN’T be revoked. It’s DeCSS all over again, and I’d love to see the AACSLA capitulate, with a libaacs library for Linux as the end result. It’s one thing to simply encrypt media, but it’s outright stupid to make the DRM artificially cheapen the HD experience unless the consumer buys expensive new equipment, all in the name of “copy protection”.

“DRM could works. Just apply the DRM equation to your specific case to see if it will be your case”

Well, DRM could work for the business, but at the expense of fairness to the customer.

[...] For those who aren’t aware of the DMCA, the American legislation which makes a huge range of information illegal (including, but not limited to, the Hex Key which happens to unlock HD-DVD content) … go forth and read about it. Mark takes a fairly clear line on DRM and its ilk, which I tend to agree with. [...]

HD DVD protection system or any DRM would not exists without the DMCA, which is the root of all evil. When the DMCA is replaced by reason, then things will change and not before.

One would have thought that they would have learnt their lesson on the DVD CSS back in 1999 (yes that is 8 years ago now). On the face of it if they could get a system to work that was infallible they’d be fine and Apple while they are currently pushing a non-DRM future have some how successfully maintained a DRM system (albeit with cracks here and there over the years) since 2001. They were able to control this some what by making iTunes the only gateway to the iPod. I’m sure the MPAA would love to have an environment as restrictive as the one Apple has. The past few months have shown that the take up of the technology hasn’t been as massive as they would have liked and that is with third party software players, which is the critical hole that broke CSS and as it turned out ACSS. While it hasn’t happened yet I’d be very interested to see what the music/iTunes experiences is one year after they have started releasing DRM free content. Maybe it will finally be a business model that other people in the industry can point to and say that it works with out DRM.

in germany the first music label (EMI) has resigned from DRM-protected music. they want to offer mp3 and even ogg-files for download without any restrictions. the will offer this first on itunes, but in future there will be more online stores who offer this. a disadvantage is that the songs will be a little more expensive. BUT they announced also that the mp3-files without DRM will be in a much better quality.
