[QUOTE="FlipGer, post: 111880, member: 10293"] Hi, personally I do agree with frodo. Microsoft is not the one to blame for supporting DRM. Its the movie- and music-industry (MI). They told hard- and software manufacturers: "We will only deliver HD content, if you do this, this, this and ohh that." We could blame the manufacturer for letting them be blackmailed. But that's capitalism. Its also a problem that some content providers also provide the hardware (Sony/BMG). So they said, ok we are doing what the MI wants. They implemented those stupid unnecessary things like HDMI, copy protection and DRM. But I have the hope they did it only halfhearted. Remember the Region-Code thing for DVDs? Also a wish of the MI. What happend to it? It can be turned off in most cases, often even on standalone players with "hidden service menus". ;) As knutinh said, there are already hardware solutions to circumvent HDMI on the market. Every "copy protection" will be cracked sooner or later. Afaik some experts said, that the implementation of HDMI encryption was done very bad. The biggest problem with all those DRM stuff is the big lobby work of the MI in politics! Many governments passed very suspect bills for the MI. IMHO the MI only wants to secure there old profits. They do not react on the digital revolution properly. They do sue their customers instead of bringing them new services. :( <dreaming> Instead of putting "copy protection" on audio cds (even trojans, like Sony), they could add all tracks as 320Kbit (watermarked) MP3 on the cd. Man, this would be a great addition, worth the money. I would not have to break laws, if I want to hear my legally buyed cd on my MP3 player. </dreaming> Someone asked where to get music: [url]http://www.jamendo.com/[/url] 100% legally free (Creative Commons Licence)! MP3 or OGG over BT. You can directly donate to the musicians if you like their music. No MI in between grabbing 90% of the invested money. :) Flip. [/QUOTE]
