one license, DRM scheme to rule them all

[Faun]

to be corrected as:

Now may be we will see in future that those without Windows or OS X will be going back ages like may be Flint stones switch jeshtha switch ... dont worry we will help u with ur queries and doubts about vista .... swtich my friend switch

lol..the world is all for open source, free mind.

No question about switching to a restricted confined place

1st) DRM doesn't affect u unless u play DRMed content. The services in Windows Vista for DRM do not start unless the content is DRMed (files has DRM flag).

2nd) DRM content drivers do not load in Vista unless the content asks for it.

So, yes...there is a check for DRM in the background of Vista, but that doesn't hampers the performance 50% like some ignorant users claim it does.

Beside, why does DRM bother u? R U forced to use DRM content in India?

jeshtha drm is proposed by and endorsed by almost every hardware and software company the 1s who dont will also join soon

can u or FOSS come up with a better solution for avoiding piracy as drm is a strong mechanism in concept and is proving to be so practically too as my previous post i have cited how it helps in reducing piracy and at the same time finding ways to not affecting consumers that is what drm is meant for


also something i missed last time .... drm content gives the consumer permission to convert or transfer the drm protected content a limited no. of times (depends on the provider) adding that too the availability of pre-converted pmp formats i find no reason why drm should be a problem to the 1s who buy and use original media .... as charan has already said he is using drm content and has no problem other than linux not being able to play it

 

[gxsaurav]

I have never tried HD videos and am least interested to

Then why do u want us not to try it either?

can u or FOSS come up with a better solution for avoiding piracy

That's a worthwhile Question. if u don't know how to stop piracy then stop blaming DRM & don't buy DRMed content. Nobody is forcing

 

[iMav]

and also 1 scheme that is only drm is good because then u wont have different standards/methods of encrypting data ... 1 scheme works thruoghout eurpe and maybe throughout the world .... makes sense for a consumer who buys original uses original

may DRM endure the Starforce fate

Btw nothing can stop piracy, only we can.

 

[iMav]

stopping and avoiding are 2 different things ...not being able to stop terrorism doesnt mean u stop probing it or stop funding anti-terrorism mechanism .... drm is an attempt at reducing piracy bringing all media and tech companies together to wrok and help each other making things work better for the consumer

DRM Sucks!no other reasons!no persuasion damn EU and their media's.DRM is founded and sponsored by evil minds!I support pirates rather than DRMing whole software and hardware!

^that answers the obvious questions by the monopoly supporters!@imeow and gx-sourav

the thing is,at any cost no DRMing of h/w and s/w!
I'd like to ask u monopolists 1 Que:So,you brought a plot in Delhi City Centre.Do you allow someone to own it overpowering you!(remember khosla ka Ghosla )
the same goes here as the users right to use their hardware and software which they bought unrestricted!piracy is 2nd to locking of users rights by Monopoly lobbyists of big corporations like M$FT.
In no way,does we have to agree to that "fair user" crap set up by these morons in US!

Menas u support & favor stealing the hard work of Music studios & actors rather then paying what they deserve

and im rather surprised by ur blatant acceptance of piracy when it comes to media

 

[praka123]

^I DONT MIND!GET IT!MANY OTHERS TOO!
For me,I dont want to see the whole world been under Monopolists corporations and esp the movies/music industry along with softwares!OMG!2000 has brought up evil monopolists to do *any* thing they want to do on users!I can not allow my Operating system to control my aptitude of what i have to play or not!who the fcuk is they to control me?the fcuking EULA is not at all read by any!they just accept and this morons in US&EU loots on and on.today or tomorrow,same fate will be there in India too!the democratic country!I feel ashamed to see that there are people who are advocating for such companies!
Piracy has to be dealt by direct human interaction with end user!no,it is not the job of rootkits(DRM) to control what we have to do or not

so at the end,whatever you buy,you get it,no hidden strings attached!(software/hardware).
with both processor companies going to have rootkits in their processors embedded!I felt that rather we have to stop buying from this thugs!

 

[gxsaurav]

I can not allow my Operating system to control my aptitude of what i have to play or not!who the fcuk is they to control me?

Which OS out there restricts u from playing a media file? Isn't that Linux itself? In Vista I can play DRMed & non-DRM files both. But not in Linux.

 

[iMav]

I can not allow my Operating system to control my aptitude of what i have to play or not!who the fcuk is they to control me?

no 1 is controling what u play u can play what ever u want to as long as u pay for it and have not procured it by wrong means

Piracy has to be dealt by direct human interaction with end user!no,it is not the job of rootkits(DRM) to control what we have to do or not

ya rite drunk driving; women molestation needs to be dealt with human interaction and not by polic putting u in jail talk practicality sir

so at the end,whatever you buy,you get it,no hidden strings attached!(software/hardware).
with both processor companies going to have rootkits in their processors embedded!I felt that rather we have to stop buying from this thugs!

please dont buy intel or amd processors and as i have said ur darling FOSS not being able to play drmed content is a reason why u hate it ....

i urge every1 to please read my previous posts in this thread about drm which will shed more light abt what drm is and is trying to achieve so far we have only been brain washed by jeshtha that drm is bad but that is not te case it is a step being taken for a reasonable cause however haveing said that drm still needs to improve upon itself in implementation on the larger scale

 

[gxsaurav]

We know DRM is bad, but unless someone can come up with a better method of controlling piracy, live with DRM. The best you can do is not to buy DRM content, & not to pirate.

 

[praka123]

no 1 is controling what u play u can play what ever u want to as long as u pay for it and have not procured it by wrong means

then what are we discussing?DRM is CONTROLLING THE SAME!

personally,will keep off from drmed movies,softwares(Vista!!!!) as much i can!

ya rite drunk driving; women molestation needs to be dealt with human interaction and not by polic putting u in jail talk practicality sir

just remembering the raids conducted by police and microsoft in TVM.just follow that!Now am expecting u to say that chalo DRM radio mirchi transmission

please dont buy intel or amd processors

Yes Anuja,I am!

We know DRM is bad, but unless someone can come up with a better method of controlling piracy, live with DRM. The best you can do is not to buy DRM content, & not to pirate.

Ahaa!you know DRM is bad!welcome !
to curb priacy,studios et al have to try what moser baer in India does!make things cheap!damn cheap,volume selling=ur revenue is multiplied with what u have.this is also reg microsoft windows too!

 

[iMav]

then what are we discussing?DRM is CONTROLLING THE SAME!

yes drm is controlling that u cannot pirate or play pirated content on ur computers

 

[praka123]

^so!?eat DRM!u xxxx

 

[gxsaurav]

^so!?eat DRM!u xxxx

Means u support piracy...lolz

 

[iMav]

to curb priacy,studios et al have to try what moser baer in India does!make things cheap!damn cheap,volume selling=ur revenue is multiplied

moser baer has made them cheap but my friend piracy still rules and it will as long as some methods to reduce and curb it are not taken

also making something cheap is not the solution ... the amount of money a music company puts in advertising; recording and campaigning for a record the number of musicians and technicians who record and work on a record who is going to pay them ....

if u think that in a song theres only 1 singer and the recording label then ur wrong there are so many other background artists working - the artwork of the video; the artwork of the cds/dvds; the backgroound singers; the background musicians; the other vocal artists; the technicians working behind the scenes editing the record who is going to pay them .... who is going to pay for their families' livelihood - their job is going to pay - the company who employees them is going to pay - the consumer who buys their hard work has to pay for it

 

[praka123]

means i support freedom!and I definitely am against piracy.but when freedom is conflicting with piracy(anti-piracy enforcements like DRM),anytime i prefer my freedom!easy!
