Another blow to DRM
August 15, 2007
We all knew it could happen, you buy your drm video/music and would then be unable to use in down the line because the company you brought from no longer supports your platform/software or shuts the authentication site. However what none of us could predict would be that the ‘do no evil’ company would be the first. There is a nice article over at ars which explains the consequences better than I could, http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070812-google-selleth-then-taketh-away-proving-the-need-for-drm-circumvention.html
