"DRM Systems do not work. Name a system that hasn't been easily cracked by
the stereotypical pimply nerd teen within days or weeks of an implementation. You
can't. They inconvenience legitimate users. They turn product purchases into merely
permission to use an asset. They are always (as in ALWAYS) defeated within a very
brief timeframe of their implementation, turning a huge capital investment by a
content producer into the cyber equivalent of that film "The Money Pit" . And, they
can easily make legitimately purchased content become a "cyber brick".
Do you think this cannot happen? Microsoft's "Plays For Sure" anyone? "Plays For
Sure" was an ironic choice of words for a system that has now left millions of
people with content that, come September, will no longer play." ~fastsilicon.com
