|
||
| Time: 06:17 EST/11:17 GMT | News Source: Microsoft Press Release | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner | ||
|
Microsoft Corp. today unveiled the features of the next version of its Windows Media® Digital Rights Management (DRM) software, and announced early adopters of the platform, including leading online music and movie services, entertainment companies, consumer electronics manufacturers and chip makers. Microsoft's next generation of Windows Media DRM technology will make new scenarios possible, such as protecting, delivering and playing subscription-based or on-demand digital music and video. These scenarios span Windows®-based PCs and devices, including portable audio devices, Portable Media Centers, cellular phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) such as Windows Mobile (TM) -based Pocket PCs and Smartphones, and networked devices connected within the home, including those that connect over a wireless network. The promise of how this DRM technology enables these new scenarios has already attracted support from the following companies:
There is also support for the new DRM by manufacturers of Windows Media Center Extender Technology and Windows Media Connect devices, including Alienware Corp., Creative and Dell. This new version of Windows Media DRM reinforces Microsoft's strong commitment to the digital media marketplace supporting the company's vision of enabling the seamless flow of music and movies for consumers while ensuring that content owners are able to build robust businesses. |

I'll use my purchased music/media for my own purposes in any way I damn well please.
I don't care what Microsoft, the RIAA or the MPAA has to say about it. I paid for it, I own it, and as long as I don't illegally copy it for others thay can keep there fingers out of my home. Period. TL BTW... AW WebMasters - The talking Ad's are over the top folks. You DO realize that most of us work in corporate settings, right? Thanks :) |

| #1+2 - it's all very well saying that, but if we remove all the adverts you guys complain about you'll lose the site completely, not just from your favs. |

The creators of MP3 are releasing a new version of the format which supports, guess what, DRM.
Tech, here is an idea, turn down your freaking volume.... or perhaps DO YOUR JOB! |

I agree the talking ad is silly, but I do enjoy this free site. For those that have grown tired of typing in a word so the computer lady can say it aloud...

"Whine, bitch, moan. I bet you guys yell at your television whenever a commercial comes up."
No. I press the 30 second skip on my Tivo Remote about 6 times, stopping only if I see something _I_ am interested in. TL |

"#1+2 - it's all very well saying that, but if we remove all the adverts you guys complain about you'll lose the site completely, not just from your favs. "
I EXPLICITLY mentioned TALKING AD's. Those are totally ridiculous and uncalled for Byron and you well know it. Think of your Majority audience and where we work... TL |

"When you pay for music you are not “buying” it, you are licensing the use of it. "
Well, I have around 150 CD's, and not a one of them has a Eula that pops up :) None of them have the word "Licensed" on them anywhere. I OWN them. What I do with them for my own personal use is my business. Not Microsoft's, the RIAA's or anyone elses. TL |
